RedHat: Critical: firefox security update RHSA-2008:0597-01
Summary
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.
