The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2010:0112.
Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL
Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox.
A use-after-free flaw was found in Firefox. Under low memory conditions,
visiting a web page containing malicious content could result in Firefox
executing arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox.
(CVE-2009-1571)
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-2010-0159, CVE-2010-0160)
Two flaws were found in the way certain content was processed. An attacker
could use these flaws to create a malicious web page that could bypass the
same-origin policy, or possibly run untrusted JavaScript. (CVE-2009-3988,
CVE-2010-0162)
For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla security
advisories for Firefox 3.0.18. You can find a link to the Mozilla
