Details

Henrik Skupin, Jesse Ruderman, Christian Holler, Soroush Dalili and others

tricked into opening a specially crafted web page, a remote attacker could
cause Firefox to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user
invoking the program. (CVE-2012-3982, CVE-2012-3983, CVE-2012-3988,
CVE-2012-3989)

properly handle the element. A remote attacker could exploit this
to conduct URL spoofing and clickjacking attacks. (CVE-2012-3984)

checks on test methods for DOMWindowUtils. (CVE-2012-3986)
