DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Firefox, which
can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions and compromise a user's system.

1) Some unspecified errors can be exploited to corrupt memory. No
further information is currently available.

2) An integer underflow error exists within the Regular Expression
engine when evaluating certain regular expressions.

3) An error in the implementation of the "window.location" JavaScript
object can be exploited to bypass the same-origin policy.

For more information see vulnerability #2 in:
SA46171

4) A malicious application or extension could be downloaded and
executed if a user is convinced into holding down the "Enter" key via
e.g. a malicious game.

NOTE: Additionally, a weakness exists when handling the "Location"
header, which can lead to response splitting attacks when visiting a
vulnerable web server.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 3.6.23.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.6.23.
