versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :

  - The browser can be fooled into trusting a malicious SSL
    server certificate with a null character in the host name.
    (MFSA 2009-42)

  - A heap overflow in the code that handles regular
    expressions in certificate names can lead to
    arbitrary code execution. (MFSA 2009-43)

  - The location bar and SSL indicators can be spoofed
    by calling window.open() on an invalid URL. A remote
    attacker could use this to perform a phishing attack.
    (MFSA 2009-44)

  - Unspecified JavaScript-related vulnerabilities can lead
    to memory corruption, and possibly arbitrary execution
    of code. (MFSA 2009-45)"  );
