Ubuntu priority

Why this priority?

Firefox before 1.0.4 and Mozilla Suite before 1.7.8 does not properly implement certain security checks for script injection, which allows remote attackers to execute script via "Wrapped" javascript: URLs, as demonstrated using (1) a javascript: URL in a view-source: URL, (2) a javascript: URL in a jar: URL, or (3) "a nested variant."
