| Description: | Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser.
Igor Bukanov discovered a bug in the way Firefox's Javascript interpreter derefernces objects. If a user visits a malicious web page, Firefox could crash or execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2006-0292 to this issue.
moz_bug_r_a4 discovered a bug in Firefox's XULDocument.persist() function. A malicious web page could inject arbitrary RDF data into a user's localstore.rdf file, which can cause Firefox to execute arbitrary javascript when a user runs Firefox. (CVE-2006-0296)
A denial of service bug was found in the way Firefox saves history information. If a user visits a web page with a very long title, it is possible Firefox will crash or take a very long time the next time it is run. (CVE-2005-4134)
This update also fixes a bug when using XSLT to transform documents. Passing DOM Nodes as parameters to functions expecting an xsl:param could cause Firefox to throw an exception.
Users of Firefox are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches to correct these issues.
