Flaws were discovered in the JavaScript methods addEventListener and
setTimeout which could be used to inject script into another site in
violation of the browser's same-origin policy. A malicious web site
could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data
(such as passwords), of other web pages. (CVE-2007-3736)

Ronen Zilberman and Michal Zalewski discovered timing attacks in the
JavaScript engine's use of about:blank frames. A malicious web site
could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data
(such as passwords), of other web pages. (CVE-2007-3089)

A flaw was discovered in the JavaScript event handling code. By tricking
a user into opening a malicious web page, an attacker could execute
arbitrary code with the user's privileges. (CVE-2007-3737)

Ronald van den Heetkamp discovered that filename URLs including an encoded
null byte could confuse the extension matching code. By tricking a user
into opening a malicious web page, an attacker could execute arbitrary
helper programs. (CVE-2007-3285)

Michal Zalewski discovered flaws in the same-origin handling of cached
'wyciwyg://' documents. A malicious web site could exploit this to
modify the contents, or steal confidential data (such as passwords),
of other web pages. (CVE-2007-3656)
