Cody Crews discovered that some constructors could be used to bypass

scripting enabled, an attacker could exploit this to conduct cross-site
scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2013-1670)
A use-after-free was discovered when resizing video content whilst it is
playing. If a user had scripting enabled, an attacker could potentially
exploit this to execute code with the privileges of the user invoking
Thunderbird. (CVE-2013-1674)
It was discovered that some DOMSVGZoomEvent functions could be used
without being properly initialized, which could lead to information
leakage. (CVE-2013-1675)
