Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory 2005-32 (CAN-2005-0401)
Title: Drag and drop loading of privileged XUL
Severity: Low
Risk: Moderate
Reporter: Michael Krax
Fixed in: Firefox 1.0.2, Mozilla Suite 1.7.6
Description
A malicious page that could lure a user into dragging something (such as a fake scrollbar) can bypass the restriction on opening privileged XUL. The startup scripts in the XUL will run with enhanced privilege, though the actions taken upon merely opening most XUL are benign. So far no way to run arbitrary code supplied by the attacker has been found, but this could be a stepping-stone to future attacks. 
Workaround: Disable Javascript. Upgrade to the fixed version.

Title: GIF heap overflow parsing Netscape extension 2
Severity: Critical
Risk: High
Reporter: Mark Dowd (ISS X-Force)
Fixed in: Firefox 1.0.2, Thunderbird 1.0.2, Mozilla Suite 1.7.6
Description
An GIF processing error when parsing the obsolete Netscape extension 2 can lead to an exploitable heap overrun, allowing an attacker to run arbitrary code on the user's machine. 
Workaround: Turn off image display. Upgrade to the fixed version.

Severity: Critical
Risk: Moderate
Reporter: Kohei Yoshino

Description
If a user bookmarked a malicious page as a Firefox sidebar panel that page could execute arbitrary programs by opening a privileged page and injecting javascript into it. 
Workaround: Do not add sidebar panels. Upgrade to fixed version
