--- title: "CVE-2006-1736\n | Ubuntu" description: Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things. url: https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2006-1736?format=md keywords: index, follow --- # CVE-2006-1736 Publication date 14 April 2006 Last updated 17 July 2025 --- Ubuntu priority **Medium** [Why this priority?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#priority ) Toggle side navigation ## Description Mozilla Firefox 1.x before 1.5 and 1.0.x before 1.0.8, Mozilla Suite before 1.7.13, and SeaMonkey before 1.0 allows remote attackers to trick users into downloading and saving an executable file via an image that is overlaid by a transparent image link that points to the executable, which causes the executable to be saved when the user clicks the "Save image as..." option. NOTE: this attack is made easier due to a GUI truncation issue that prevents the user from seeing the malicious extension when there is extra whitespace in the filename. ## Status Show unmaintained releases | Package | Ubuntu Release | Status | | --- | --- | --- | | firefox | 7.04 feisty | Not affected | | 6.10 edgy | Not affected | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Fixed 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.13~prepatch070731-0ubuntu1 | | firefox-granparadiso | 7.04 feisty | Not in release | | 6.10 edgy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | lightning-sunbird | 7.04 feisty | Not in release | | 6.10 edgy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | | midbrowser | 7.04 feisty | Not in release | | 6.10 edgy | Not in release | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Not in release | --- * [How can I get the fixes?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#security) * [What do statuses mean?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#statuses) ## References * [MITRE](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1736) * [NVD](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2006-1736) * [Launchpad](https://launchpad.net/bugs/cve/CVE-2006-1736) * [Debian](https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2006-1736) ### Related Ubuntu Security Notices (USN) + [USN-275-1](https://usn.ubuntu.com/USN-275-1) + Mozilla vulnerabilities + 28 April 2006 + [USN-271-1](https://usn.ubuntu.com/USN-271-1) + Firefox vulnerabilities + 20 April 2006 ### Other references *
