Title:RHSA-2007:0724: firefox security update (Critical)
Description:Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser.

  • Several flaws were found in the way Firefox processed certain malformed JavaScript code. A web page containing malicious JavaScript code could cause Firefox to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2007-3734, CVE-2007-3735, CVE-2007-3737, CVE-2007-3738)

  • Several content injection flaws were found in the way Firefox handled certain JavaScript code. A web page containing malicious JavaScript code could inject arbitrary content into other web pages. (CVE-2007-3736, CVE-2007-3089)

  • A flaw was found in the way Firefox cached web pages on the local disk. A malicious web page may be able to inject arbitrary HTML into a browsing session if the user reloads a targeted site. (CVE-2007-3656)

    Users of Firefox are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain backported patches that correct these issues.
