Mozilla Firefox Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities July-09 (Linux). Successful exploitation could allow remote attacker to execute arbitrary code and results in Denial of Service condition. Error exists when a page contains a Flash object which presents a slow script dialog, and the page is navigated while the dialog is still visible to the user, the Flash plugin is unloaded resulting in a crash due to a call to the deleted object
