Description: Several vulnerabilities were reported in Mozilla Firefox. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
A remote user can create specially crafted HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger memory corruption errors in the
JavaScript engine or layout engine and potentially execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges
of the target user.
