This is a small heads-up to Ubuntu 5.10 and Ubuntu 6.06 LTS users to update their Firefox packages to:

1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.9-0ubuntu0.5.10.1 (for 5.10 users)
1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.9-0ubuntu0.6.06.1 (for 6.06 LTS users)

Issues corrected by the update:

- Remote code execution with user privileges, by opening a malicious web page containing JavaScript or SVG.

- bypassing of Firefox’s internal XSS protections by tricking the user into opening a
malicious web page containing JavaScript.

To update:

compile from source by getting the packages from the Ubuntu pools

- or -

open up a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install firefox

- or -

Use synaptic package manager.
