  Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web
  page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or,
  potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
  Firefox. (CVE-2011-2982)

  A dangling pointer flaw was found in the Firefox Scalable Vector Graphics
  (SVG) text manipulation routine. A web page containing a malicious SVG
  image could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code
  with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2011-0084)

  A dangling pointer flaw was found in the way Firefox handled a certain
  Document Object Model (DOM) element. A web page containing malicious
  content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary
  code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2011-2378)

  A flaw was found in the event management code in Firefox. A website
  containing malicious JavaScript could cause Firefox to execute that
  JavaScript with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2011-2981)

  A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled malformed JavaScript. A web
  page containing malicious JavaScript could cause Firefox to access already
  freed memory, causing Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary
  code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2011-2983)

  It was found that a malicious web page could execute arbitrary code with
  the privileges of the user running Firefox if the user dropped a tab onto
  the malicious web page. (CVE-2011-2984)

  For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla security
  advisories for Firefox 3.6.20. You can find a link to the Mozilla
  advisories in the References section of this erratum.
