3. Description:

 

Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL

Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox.

 

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled certain add-ons. A web page

containing malicious content could cause an add-on to grant itself full

browser privileges, which could lead to arbitrary code execution with the

privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2011-3647)

 

A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the way Firefox handled

certain multibyte character sets. A web page containing malicious content

could cause Firefox to run JavaScript code with the permissions of a

different website. (CVE-2011-3648)

 

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled large JavaScript scripts. A web

page containing malicious JavaScript could cause Firefox to crash or,

potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running

Firefox. (CVE-2011-3650)

 

For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla security

advisories for Firefox 3.6.24. You can find a link to the Mozilla

advisories in the References section of this erratum.

 

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

Firefox version 3.6.24, which corrects these issues. After installing the

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

 

4. Solution:

 

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

relevant to your system have been applied.
