Description: Several vulnerabilities were reported in Mozilla Firefox. A remote user may be able to cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
A remote user can create a specially crafted HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a memory corruption error and
potentially execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
Some of the
flaws reside in the browser engine. Some of the flaws reside in the JavaScript engine.
Mozilla Thunderbird is also affected.
