TITLE:
Mozilla, Opera and Netscape Security Model Violation

READ ONLINE:
http://www.secunia.com/advisories/9017/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Opera 6.x
Netscape 6.x
Netscape 7.x
Mozilla 1.0
Mozilla 1.1
Opera 7.x
Mozilla 1.3
Mozilla 1.4

DESCRIPTION:
An older vulnerability has apparently resurfaced in Mozilla, Opera
and Netscape, which allows malicious websites to execute arbitrary
JavaScript and possibly Java in the context of other sites.

The problem is that it is possible to create a JavaScript function,
which will open a different website and execute code in this site's
security context.

SOLUTION:
Disable JavaScript and Java for all sites (except trusted sites).
