Firefox is a freely available web browser for multiple platforms including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.
Mozilla Firefox prior to 18.0 contains a use-after-free error in the **XMLSerializer**
when the **serializeToStream**
method is used. A remote attacker who persuades a user to open a crafted web page could execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the browser.
Upgrade to Mozilla Firefox 18.0 or newer.
