The installed version of Firefox is earlier than 2.0.0.19. Such versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :

  • There are several stability bugs in the browser engine that may lead to crashes with evidence of memory corruption. (MFSA 2008-60)

  • XBL bindings can be used to read data from other domains. (MFSA 2008-61)

  • The feed preview still allows for JavaScript privilege escalation. (MFSA 2008-62)

  • Sensitive data may be disclosed in an XHR response when an XMLHttpRequest is made to a same-origin resource, which 302 redirects to a resource in a different domain. (MFSA 2008-64)

  • A website may be able to access a limited amount of data from a different domain by loading a same-domain JavaScript URL which redirects to an off-domain target resource containing data which is not parsable as JavaScript. (MFSA 2008-65)

  • Errors arise when parsing URLs with leading whitespace and control characters. (MFSA 2008-66)

  • An escaped null byte is ignored by the CSS parser and treated as if it was not present in the CSS input string. (MFSA 2008-67)

  • Cross-site scripting and JavaScript privilege escalation are possible. (MFSA 2008-68)

  • Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in SessionStore may allow for violating the browser’s same-origin policy and performing an XSS attack or running arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges. (MFSA 2008-69)

  • Creating a Select object with a very large length can result in memory exhaustion, causing a denial of service. (CVE-2009-2535)

Note that Mozilla is not planning further security / stability updates for Firefox 2.
