invoking the program. (CVE-2009-1302, CVE-2009-1303, CVE-2009-1304,
CVE-2009-1305)

It was discovered that Firefox displayed certain Unicode characters which
could be visually confused with punctuation in valid web addresses in the
location bar. An attacker could exploit this to spoof the location bar,
such as in a phishing attack. (CVE-2009-0652)

Several flaws were discovered in the way Firefox processed malformed URI
schemes. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote
attacker could execute arbitrary JavaScript or steal private data.
(CVE-2009-1306, CVE-2009-1307, CVE-2009-1309, CVE-2009-1310, CVE-2009-1312)

Cefn Hoile discovered Firefox did not adequately protect against embedded
third-party stylesheets. An attacker could exploit this to perform script
injection attacks using XBL bindings. (CVE-2009-1308)

Paolo Amadini discovered that Firefox would submit POST data when reloading
an inner frame of a web page. If a user were tricked into viewing a
malicious website, a remote attacker could steal private data.
