The installed version of Firefox is earlier than 3.5.9. Such versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :

  • Multiple crashes can result in arbitrary code execution.
    (MFSA 2010-16)

  • A select event handler for XUL tree items can be called after the item is deleted. (MFSA 2010-17)

  • An error exists in the way ‘<option>’ elements are inserted into an XUL tree ‘<optgroup>’ (MFSA 2010-18)

  • An error exists in the implementation of the ‘windows.navigator.plugins’ object. (MFSA 2010-19)

  • A browser applet can be used to turn a simple mouse click into a drag-and-drop action, potentially resulting in the unintended loading of resources in a user’s browser. (MFSA 2010-20)

  • Session renegotiations are not handled properly, which can be exploited to insert arbitrary plaintext by a man-in-the-middle. (MFSA 2010-22)

  • When an image points to a resource that redirects to a ‘mailto:’ URL, the external mail handler application is launched. (MFSA 2010-23)

  • XML documents fail to call certain security checks when loading new content. (MFSA 2010-24)
