DESCRIPTION:
Multiple weaknesses and vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla
Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain
security restrictions and compromise a user's system.

1) Some unspecified errors can be exploited to corrupt memory. No
further information is currently available.

2) An error in the implementation of the "window.location" JavaScript
object when creating named frames can be exploited to bypass the
same-origin policy and e.g. conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

3) A malicious application or extension could be downloaded and
executed if a user is convinced into holding down the "Enter" key via
e.g. a malicious game.

4) An error within WebGL's ANGLE library does not properly check for
return values from the "GrowAtomTable()" function and can be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow by sending a series of
requests.

5) An unspecified error within WebGL can be exploited to corrupt
memory.

6) An unspecified error within the YARR regular expression library
can be exploited to corrupt memory.

7) An error exists within the JSSubScriptLoader, which incorrectly
unwraps "XPCNativeWrappers". This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary code by tricking a user into installing a malicious
plug-in.

8) A use-after-free error existing when parsing OGG headers.

9) A weakness exists when handling multiple tabs and can be exploited
to detect keystrokes sent to another tab.

NOTE: Additionally, a weakness exists when handling the "Location"
header, which can lead to response splitting attacks when visiting a
vulnerable web server.

SOLUTION:
Upgrade to version 7.0.
