Name : epiphany-extensions Product : Fedora 7 Version : 2.18.3 Release : 7 URL : http://www.gnome.org/projects/epiphany/extensions Summary : Extensions for Epiphany, the GNOME web browser Description : Epiphany Extensions is a collection of extensions for Epiphany, the GNOME web browser. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser. Several flaws were found in the way Firefox processed certain malformed web content. A webpage containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2008-0412, CVE-2008-0413, CVE-2008-0415, CVE-2008-0419) Several flaws were found in the way Firefox displayed malformed web content. A webpage containing specially-crafted content could trick a user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-0591, CVE-2008-0593) A flaw was found in the way Firefox stored password data. If a user saves login information for a malicious website, it could be possible to corrupt the password database, preventing the user from properly accessing saved password data. (CVE-2008-0417) A flaw was found in the way Firefox handles certain chrome URLs. If a user has certain extensions installed, it could allow a malicious website to steal sensitive session data. Note: this flaw does not affect a default installation of Firefox. (CVE-2008-0418) A flaw was found in the way Firefox saves certain text files. If a website offers a file of type "plain/text", rather than "text/plain", Firefox will not show future "text/plain" content to the user in the browser, forcing them to save those files locally to view the content. (CVE-2008-0592) Users of firefox are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain updated packages to resolve these issues. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Feb 8 2008 Christopher Aillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.18.3-7 - Rebuild against newer gecko * Tue Nov 27 2007 Christopher Aillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.18.3-6 - Rebuild against newer gecko * Tue Nov 6 2007 Peter Gordon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.18.3-5 - Rebuild for new Gecko (Firefox 2.0.0.9) * Sat Oct 20 2007 Peter Gordon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.18.3-4 - Rebuild against new Gecko release (Firefox 2.0.0.8) * Mon Jul 30 2007 Peter Gordon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.18.3-3 - Add a patch from upstream SVN to fix GNOME bug 452119 (crash in the filterset.g updater tool from the AdBlocker extension): + fix-adblock-filtersetg-updater.patch * Wed Jul 18 2007 Peter Gordon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.18.3-2 - Rebuild against new Gecko release (Firefox 2.0.0.5). * Wed Jul 4 2007 Peter Gordon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.18.3-1 - Update to new upstream release (2.18.3). * Wed Jun 6 2007 Christopher Aillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2.18.2-3 - Specfiles should _NOT_ call rpm directly.
