3. Description:

 

Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser.

 

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web

page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or,

potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox.

(CVE-2009-0040, CVE-2009-0771, CVE-2009-0772, CVE-2009-0773, CVE-2009-0774,

CVE-2009-0775)

 

Several flaws were found in the way malformed content was processed. A

website containing specially-crafted content could, potentially, trick a

Firefox user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2009-0776,

CVE-2009-0777)

 

For technical details regarding these flaws, please see the Mozilla

security advisories for Firefox 3.0.7. You can find a link to the Mozilla

advisories in the References section of this errata.

 

All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain

Firefox version 3.0.7, and which correct these issues. After installing the

update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
