DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Firefox and
Thunderbird, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting and spoofing attacks, disclose certain system
and sensitive information, bypass certain security restrictions, and
compromise a user's system.

1) Multiple unspecified errors can be exploited to corrupt memory.

2) A use-after-free error exists within the XPConnect hashtable when
handling IDBKeyRange indexedDB.

3) An error within the gfxImageSurface class when handling certain
graphic values can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer
overflow.

4) An error when handling multi-octet encoding can be exploited to
conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

5) An error within the "cairo_dwrite_font_face()" function when
rendering fonts can be exploited to corrupt memory.

6) An error within the "WebGL.drawElements()" function when handling
certain template arguments can be exploited to disclose contents of
arbitrary video memory.

7) An error within docshell when loading pages can be exploited to
display arbitrary content while showing the URL of a trusted web site
in the address bar and e.g. conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

8) An error within the handling of XMLHttpRequest and WebSocket while
using an IPv6 address can be exploited to bypass the same-origin
policy.

9) An error when decoding ISO-2022-KR and ISO-2022-CN character sets
can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

10) An error exists within the "texImage2D()" function within WebGL
when using JSVAL_TO_OBJECT.

11) An off-by-one error exists within the OpenType sanitizer when
parsing certain data.

12) An error within the handling of javascript errors can be
exploited to disclose the file names and location of javascript files
on a server.

13) An error when handling RSS and Atom XML content loaded over HTTPS
can be exploited to display arbitrary content while showing the URL of
a trusted web site in the address bar.

Successful exploitation of vulnerabilities #1, #2, #3, #5, #10, and
#11 may allow execution of arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Upgrade to Firefox version 12.0 and Thunderbird version 12.0
