  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-2012-1970, CVE-2012-1972, CVE-2012-1973, CVE-2012-1974,
  CVE-2012-1975, CVE-2012-1976, CVE-2012-3956, CVE-2012-3957, CVE-2012-3958,

  CVE-2012-3964)

  A web page containing a malicious Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) image file
  could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with
  the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2012-3969, CVE-2012-3970)

  Two flaws were found in the way Firefox rendered certain images using
  WebGL. A web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash
  or, under certain conditions, possibly execute arbitrary code with the
  privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2012-3967, CVE-2012-3968)

  A flaw was found in the way Firefox decoded embedded bitmap images in Icon
  Format (ICO) files. A web page containing a malicious ICO file could cause
  Firefox to crash or, under certain conditions, possibly execute arbitrary
  code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2012-3966)

  A flaw was found in the way the 'eval' command was handled by the Firefox
  Web Console. Running 'eval' in the Web Console while viewing a web page
  containing malicious content could possibly cause Firefox to execute
  arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox.
  (CVE-2012-3980)

  An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in the way Firefox used the
  format-number feature of XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language
  Transformations). A web page containing malicious content could possibly
  cause an information leak, or cause Firefox to crash. (CVE-2012-3972)

  It was found that the SSL certificate information for a previously visited
  site could be displayed in the address bar while the main window displayed
  a new page. This could lead to phishing attacks as attackers could use this
  flaw to trick users into believing they are viewing a trusted site.
  (CVE-2012-3976)

  A flaw was found in the location object implementation in Firefox.
  Malicious content could use this flaw to possibly allow restricted content
  to be loaded. (CVE-2012-3978)

  For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla security
  advisories for Firefox 10.0.7 ESR. You can find a link to the Mozilla
  advisories in ...
