Name : galeon
Product : Fedora 8
Version : 2.0.4
Release : 4.fc8.3

Summary : GNOME2 Web browser based on Mozilla
Description :
Galeon is a web browser built around Gecko (Mozilla's rendering

browser, designed to take advantage of as many GNOME technologies as
makes sense. Galeon was written to do just one thing - browse the web.

Update Information:
Updated firefox packages that fix several security issues are now available for
Fedora 8. An integer overflow flaw was found in the way Firefox displayed
certain web content. A malicious web site could cause Firefox to crash, or
execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Firefox.
(CVE-2008-2785) A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled certain command
line URLs. If another application passed Firefox a malformed URL, it could
result in Firefox executing local malicious content with chrome privileges.
(CVE-2008-2933) Updated packages update Mozilla Firefox to upstream version
2.0.0.16 to address these flaws: http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-
vulnerabilities/firefox20.html#firefox2.0.0.16 This update also contains
blam, cairo-dock, chmsee, devhelp, epiphany, epiphany-extensions, galeon, gnome-
python2-extras, gnome-web-photo, gtkmozembedmm, kazehakase, liferea, Miro,
openvrml, ruby-gnome2 and yelp packages rebuilt against new Firefox / Gecko
libraries.
