CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2013:1268
Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL
Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox.
Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A
web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
Firefox. (CVE-2013-1718, CVE-2013-1722, CVE-2013-1725, CVE-2013-1730,
CVE-2013-1732, CVE-2013-1735, CVE-2013-1736)
A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled certain DOM JavaScript objects.
An attacker could use this flaw to make JavaScript client or add-on code
make incorrect, security sensitive decisions. (CVE-2013-1737)

issues. Upstream acknowledges Andre Bargull, Scoobidiver, Bobby Holley,
Reuben Morais, Abhishek Arya, Ms2ger, Sachin Shinde, Aki Helin, Nils, and
