CVE-2005-2968
HighSummary
Firefox 1.0.6 and Mozilla 1.7.10 contain a vulnerability that allows arbitrary command execution via a URL with shell metacharacters passed to the browser on the command line, which is sent unfiltered to bash.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can remotely execute arbitrary commands on the victim's system by tricking the user into launching the browser with a crafted URL, potentially leading to full system compromise.
Recommendation
Immediately update Firefox to a version later than 1.0.6 and Mozilla to a version later than 1.7.10, which fix this vulnerability.
