CVE-2005-1476
Firefox 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Javascript in other domains by using an IFRAME and causing the browser to navigate to a previous javascript: URL, which can lead to arbitrary code execution when combined with CVE-2005-1477.
CVE-2005-1477
The install function in Firefox 1.0.3 allows remote web sites on the browser's whitelist, such as update.mozilla.org or addon.mozilla.org, to execute arbitrary Javascript with chrome privileges, leading to arbitrary code execution on the system when combined with vulnerabilities such as CVE-2005-1476, as demonstrated using a javascript: URL as the package icon and a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack on a vulnerable whitelist site.
