  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-2012-4214, CVE-2012-4215, CVE-2012-4216, CVE-2012-5829,
  CVE-2012-5830, CVE-2012-5833, CVE-2012-5835, CVE-2012-5839, CVE-2012-5840,
  CVE-2012-5842)

  A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Firefox handled GIF (Graphics
  Interchange Format) images. A web page containing a malicious GIF image
  could cause Firefox to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the
  privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2012-4202)

  A flaw was found in the way the Style Inspector tool in Firefox handled
  certain Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Running the tool (Tools -> Web
  Developer -> Inspect) on malicious CSS could result in the execution of
  HTML and CSS content with chrome privileges. (CVE-2012-4210)

  A flaw was found in the way Firefox decoded the HZ-GB-2312 character
  encoding. A web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to
  run JavaScript code with the permissions of a different website.
  (CVE-2012-4207)

  A flaw was found in the location object implementation in Firefox.
  Malicious content could possibly use this flaw to allow restricted content
  to be loaded by plug-ins. (CVE-2012-4209)

  A flaw was found in the way cross-origin wrappers were implemented.
  Malicious content could use this flaw to perform cross-site scripting
  attacks. (CVE-2012-5841)

  A flaw was found in the evalInSandbox implementation in Firefox. Malicious
  content could use this flaw to perform cross-site scripting attacks.
  (CVE-2012-4201)

  For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla security
  advisories for Firefox 10.0.11 ESR. You can find a link to the Mozilla
  advisories in the References section of this erratum.

  Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting these issues.

  issues.

  All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
  Firefox version 10.0.11 ESR, which corrects these issues. After installing
  the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.");
