Takehiro Takahashi discovered flaws in the NTLM implementation in Firefox.
If an NTLM authenticated user visited a malicious website, a remote
attacker could send requests to other applications, authenticated as the
user. (CVE-2009-3983)

Jonathan Morgan discovered that Firefox did not properly display SSL
indicators under certain circumstances. This could be used by an attacker
to spoof an encrypted page, such as in a phishing attack. (CVE-2009-3984)

Jordi Chancel discovered that Firefox did not properly display invalid URLs
for a blank page. If a user were tricked into accessing a malicious
website, an attacker could exploit this to spoof the location bar, such as
in a phishing attack. (CVE-2009-3985)

David Keeler, Bob Clary, and Dan Kaminsky discovered several flaws in third
party media libraries. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted media
file, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
