Title:RHSA-2008:0597: firefox security update (Critical)
Description:Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser.

  • An integer overflow flaw was found in the way Firefox displayed certain web content. A malicious web site could cause Firefox to crash, or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2008-2785)

  • A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled certain command line URLs. If another application passed Firefox a malformed URL, it could result in Firefox executing local malicious content with chrome privileges. (CVE-2008-2933)

    All firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Firefox 3.0.1 that corrects these issues.
