"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2011-299:05 advisory.

    Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser, designed for standards compliance, performance and
    portability.
    XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for Gecko applications.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2011-0084
    The SVGTextElement.getCharNumAtPosition function in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.20, and 4.x through 5;
    Thunderbird 3.x before 3.1.12 and other versions before 6; SeaMonkey 2.x before 2.3; and possibly other
    products does not properly handle SVG text, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via
    unspecified vectors that lead to a dangling pointer.
    CVE-2011-2378
    The appendChild function in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.20, Thunderbird 3.x before 3.1.12, SeaMonkey 2.x,
    and possibly other products does not properly handle DOM objects, which allows remote attackers to execute
    arbitrary code via unspecified vectors that lead to dereferencing of a dangling pointer.
    CVE-2011-2981
    The event-management implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.20, SeaMonkey 2.x, Thunderbird 3.x
    before 3.1.12, and possibly other products does not properly select the context for script to run in,
    which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy or execute arbitrary JavaScript code with
    chrome privileges via a crafted web site.
    CVE-2011-2982
    Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.20, Thunderbird
    2.x and 3.x before 3.1.12, SeaMonkey 1.x and 2.x, and possibly other products allow remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via
    unknown vectors.
    CVE-2011-2983
    Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.20, Thunderbird 2.x and 3.x before 3.1.12, SeaMonkey 1.x and 2.x, and possibly
    other products does not properly handle the RegExp.input property, which allows remote attackers to bypass
    the Same Origin Policy and read data from a different domain via a crafted web site, possibly related to a
    use-after-free.
    CVE-2011-2984
    Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.20, SeaMonkey 2.x, Thunderbird 3.x before 3.1.12, and possibly other products
    does not properly handle the dropping of a tab element, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary
    JavaScript code with chrome privileges by establishing a content area and registering for drop events.
