AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Firefox versions 1.0.3 through 1.0.4 Netscape version 8.0.2

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking the user into using the "Set As Wallpaper" context menu on an image URL that is really a javascript: URL with an eval statement. This can be exploited when the user is deceived into using the "Set as Background" context menu in Netscape.

Recommendations: For Firefox versions 1.0.3 through 1.0.4, avoid using the "Set As Wallpaper" context menu on untrusted image URLs until a fix is available. For Netscape version 8.0.2, avoid using the "Set as Background" context menu on untrusted image URLs until a fix is available.
