Fedora 10 Update: galeon-2.0.7-8.fc10

March 28, 2009

A memory corruption flaw was discovered in the way Firefox handles XML files containing an XSLT transform

Summary

Galeon is a web browser built around Gecko (Mozilla's rendering

engine) and Necko (Mozilla's networking engine). It's a GNOME web

browser, designed to take advantage of as many GNOME technologies as

makes sense. Galeon was written to do just one thing - browse the web.

A memory corruption flaw was discovered in the way Firefox handles XML files

containing an XSLT transform. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash

Firefox or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox.

(CVE-2009-1169) A flaw was discovered in the way Firefox handles certain XUL

garbage collection events. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash

Firefox or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox.
