Orlando Barrera II discovered a flaw in the Web Workers implementation of
Firefox. If a user were tricked into posting to a malicious website, an
attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2010-0160)

Alin Rad Pop discovered that Firefox's HTML parser would incorrectly free
memory under certain circumstances. If the browser could be made to access
these freed memory objects, an attacker could exploit this to execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
(CVE-2009-1571)

Hidetake Jo discovered that the showModalDialog in Firefox did not always
honor the same-origin policy. An attacker could exploit this to run
untrusted JavaScript from other domains. (CVE-2009-3988)

Georgi Guninski discovered that the same-origin check in Firefox could be
bypassed by utilizing a crafted SVG image. If a user were tricked into
viewing a malicious website, an attacker could exploit this to read data
from other domains. (CVE-2010-0162)");
