"The installed version of Firefox is earlier than 3.0.12. Such versions
are potentially affected by the following security issues :

  - Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities could 
    potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code. 
    (MFSA 2009-34)

  - It may be possible to crash the browser or potentially
    execute arbitrary code by using a flash object that
    presents a slow script dialog. (MFSA 2009-35) 

  - Glyph rendering libraries are affected by multiple heap/
    integer overflows. (MFSA 2009-36)

  - A vulnerability involving SVG element could be exploited
    to crash the browser or execute arbitrary code on the
    remote system. (MFSA 2009-37)

  - A SOCKS5 proxy that replies with a hostname containing
    more than 15 characters can corrupt the subsequent
    data stream.  This can lead to a denial of service,
    though there is reportedly no memory corruption.
    (MFSA 2009-38)

  - A vulnerability in 'setTimeout' could allow unsafe
    access to the 'this' object from chrome code. An
    attacker could exploit this flaw to run arbitrary 
    JavaScript with chrome privileges. (MFSA 2009-39)

  - It may be possible for JavaScript from one website
    to bypass cross origin wrapper, and unsafely access
    properties of an object from another website.
    (MFSA 2009-40)");
