DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Firefox,
Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey, where one has unknown impacts and others
can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated
privileges and by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions, disclose sensitive information, and compromise a user's
system.

1) Some unspecified errors in the browser engine can be exploited to
corrupt memory.

2) An assertion failure associated with a missing type in jsinfer.cpp
can be exploited to corrupt memory.

3) Some unspecified errors in the browser engine can be exploited to
corrupt memory.

4) An error exists related to the NVIDIA graphics driver in
glBufferData.

For more information see vulnerability #18 in:
SA49194

5) An error in the Mozilla updater can be exploited to load a
wsock32.dll module from an application directory in a privileged
context.

6) An error in the Mozilla updater service can be exploited to load
an arbitrary DLL module in the context of the service.

7) An error in the Content Security Policy's (CSP) inline-script
blocking feature can be exploited to bypass the cross-site scripting
protection via e.g. "onclick" inline event handlers.

8) An error when loading HTML pages from Windows shares can be
exploited to disclose files from local resources via e.g. an iframe
tag.

9) A use-after-free error exists in "nsINode::ReplaceOrInsertBefore"
when replacing or inserting a node in a document.

10) An error in QuickDER decoder is caused due to the Network
Security Services (NSS) ASN.1 decoder not properly handling zero
length items.

11) An error in "utf16_to_isolatin1" when converting from unicode to
native character sets can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer
overflow.

12) A use-after-free error exists in "nsFrameList::FirstChild" when
handling column layouts with absolute positioning within a container
that changes the size.

13) An error in "nsHTMLReflowState::CalculateHypotheticalBox" when a
window is resized on a page with nested columns using absolute and
relative positioning can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer
overflow.

Successful exploitation of vulnerabilities #1 - 3, #9, and #11 - 13
may allow execution of arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Update to Firefox version 10.0.5, Thunderbird version 10.0.5, or
SeaMonkey version 2.10.
