Some of the known bugs are described at the following page:

<http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html>

Mandrake has recently released an advisory, maybe their patches could be
used for the 1.0 backports.

Hmm, has there been any Mozilla security update for woody?  This looks
like a *lot* of work.  Maybe it's better to take some other
distribution's Mozilla 1.4 package and ship that. 8->
