DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Firefox, which
can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive
information, conduct cross-site scripting attacks, or to compromise a
user's system.

1) Some unspecified errors in the browser engine can be exploited to
corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.

2) An integer overflow error within the implementation of the HTML
frameset element can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer
overflow by passing a very large number of columns in the counter for
the column numbers.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow execution of
arbitrary code.

3) An error in the implementation of "navigator.plugins" can be
exploited to trigger the use of an invalid pointer and execute
arbitrary code.

4) An error when transforming text runs can be exploited to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted page containing
bidirectional text run.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow execution of
arbitrary code.

5) An use-after-free error in the handling of XUL tree selections can
be exploited to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code.

This is related to vulnerability #7 in:
SA39925

6) An error in the handling of XUL tree objects can be exploited to
trigger the removal of the tree from the DOM and cause certain
sections of deleted memory to be accessed.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code in
products based on Gecko version 1.9.1 (e.g. Firefox 3.5).

7) An error in the handling of "nsTreeContentView" can be exploited
to remove a node prior to accessing it.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow execution of
arbitrary code.

8) An error when normalising a document can be exploited to trigger
the use of a deleted object.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow execution of
arbitrary code.

9) An error in the handling of fonts applied to a document can be
exploited to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code on
a Mac system.

10) The wrapper class "XPCSafeJSObjectWrapper" (SJOW) creates scope
chains ending in outer objects. This may be exploited to execute
arbitrary javascript code with chrome privileges if users of SJOWs
expect the scope chain to end on an inner object.

11) A logic error in the wrapper class "XPCSafeJSObjectWrapper"
(SJOW) allows to run a function within the context of another site.
This can be exploited to bypass the same-origin policy and conduct
cross-site scripting attacks.

12) An error in the handling of the type attribute of an <object> tag
can be used to override the charset of a framed HTML document, even
when the document is included across origins. This can be exploited
inject and execute UTF-7 encoded javascript code into a site,
potentially bypassing cross-site scripting filters.

13) An error when copy-and-pasting or drag-and-dropping HTML code
onto a document with designMode enabled can be exploited to execute
arbitrary javascript code in the context of the site where the code
is dropped.

14) The "statusText" property of an XMLHttpRequest object is readable
by the requestor even when the request is made across origins. This
can be exploited to gain information about servers within internal
networks.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.6.9 or 3.5.12.
