Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that Firefox incorrectly associated redirected sites
 as the origin of 'jar:' contents. A malicious web site could exploit this
 to modify or steal confidential data (such as passwords) from other web
 sites. (CVE-2007-5947)

 Various flaws were discovered in the layout and JavaScript engines. By
 tricking a user into opening a malicious web page, an attacker could
 execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. (CVE-2007-5959)

 Gregory Fleischer discovered that it was possible to use JavaScript to
 manipulate Firefox's Referer header. A malicious web site could exploit
 this to conduct cross-site request forgeries against sites that relied
 only on Referer headers for protection from such attacks. (CVE-2007-5960)");
