TITLE:

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37467

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37467/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the infoRSS extension for
Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

Input passed via RSS feeds is not properly sanitised before being
used to render content. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary
script code within the "chrome:" context and execute arbitrary
commands on a user's system.

Successful exploitation requires that a user subscribes to a
specially crafted RSS feed.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.1.4.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2.0 or later.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
