A remote user can create specially crafted HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will exploit a flaw in ParanoidFragmentSink and potentially execute javascript: URLs and JavaScript code [CVE-2010-1585].

A remote user can create a specially crafted JPEG image that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a buffer overflow and later execute arbitrary code on the target system [CVE-2011-0061].
