+ <background>
+ <p>
+ The Mozilla Suite is a popular all-in-one web browser that includes a
+ mail and news reader.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Several vulnerabilities ranging from code execution with elevated
+ privileges to information leaks affect the Mozilla Suite.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to browse to a specially crafted
+ website or open a specially crafted mail that could trigger some of the
+ vulnerabilities, potentially allowing execution of arbitrary code,
+ denials of service, information leaks, or cross-site scripting attacks
+ leading to the robbery of cookies of authentication credentials.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Most of the issues, but not all of them, can be prevented by disabling
+ the HTML rendering in the mail client and JavaScript on every
+ application.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ The Mozilla Suite is no longer supported and has been masked after some
+ necessary changes on all the other ebuilds which used to depend on it.
+ Mozilla Suite users should unmerge www-client/mozilla or
+ www-client/mozilla-bin, and switch to a supported product, like
+ SeaMonkey, Thunderbird or Firefox.
+ </p>
+ <code>
+
+ # emerge --unmerge &quot;www-client/mozilla&quot;

+ # emerge --unmerge &quot;www-client/mozilla-bin&quot;</code>
