   An update that fixes 12 vulnerabilities is now available.
   It includes three new package versions.

Description:


   Mozilla Firefox was updated to 10.0.3 ESR to fix various
   bugs and security  issues.

   The following security issues have been fixed:

   *

   MFSA 2012-19: Mozilla developers identified and fixed
   several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in
   Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these
   bugs showed evidence of memory corruption under certain
   circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at
   least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary
   code.

   In general these flaws cannot be exploited through
   email in the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products because
   scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in
   browser or browser-like contexts in those products.

   References:

   Bob Clary reported two bugs that causes crashes that
   affected Firefox 3.6, Firefox ESR, and Firefox 10.
   CVE-2012-0461

   Christian Holler, Jesse Ruderman, Nils, Michael
   Bebenita, Dindog, and David Anderson reported memory safety
   problems and crashes that affect Firefox ESR and Firefox
   10. CVE-2012-0462

   Jeff Walden reported a memory safety problem in the
   array.join function. This bug was independently reported by
   Vincenzo Iozzo via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative
   Pwn2Own contest. CVE-2012-0464

   Masayuki Nakano reported a memory safety problem that
   affected Mobile Firefox

   *

   CVE-2012-0463

   *

   MFSA 2012-18 / CVE-2012-0460: Mozilla developer Matt
   Brubeck reported that window.fullScreen is writeable by
   untrusted content now that the DOM fullscreen API is
   enabled. Because window.fullScreen does not include
   mozRequestFullscreen's security protections, it could be
   used for UI spoofing. This code change makes
   window.fullScreen read only by untrusted content, forcing
   the use of the DOM fullscreen API in normal usage.

   Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by
   this vulnerability.

   *

   MFSA 2012-17 / CVE-2012-0459: Mozilla community
   member Daniel Glazman of Disruptive Innovations reported a
   crash when accessing a keyframe's cssText after dynamic
   modification. This crash may be potentially exploitable.

   Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by
   this vulnerability.

   *

   MFSA 2012-16 / CVE-2012-0458: Security researcher
   Mariusz Mlynski reported that an attacker able to convince
   a potential victim to set a new home page by dragging a
   link to the "home" button can set that user's home page to
   a javascript: URL. Once this is done the attacker's page
   can cause repeated crashes of the browser, eventually
   getting the script URL loaded in the privileged
   about:sessionrestore context.

   *

   MFSA 2012-15 / CVE-2012-0451: Security Researcher
   Mike Brooks of Sitewatch reported that if multiple Content
   Security Policy (CSP) headers are present on a page, they
   have an additive effect page policy. Using carriage return
   line feed (CRLF) injection, a new CSP rule can be
   introduced which allows for cross-site scripting (XSS) on
   sites with a separate header injection vulnerability.

   Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by
   this vulnerability.

   *

   MFSA 2012-14 / CVE-2012-0457 / CVE-2012-0456:
   Security researcher Atte Kettunen from OUSPG found two
   issues with Firefox's handling of SVG using the Address
   Sanitizer tool. The first issue, critically rated, is a
   use-after-free in SVG animation that could potentially lead
   to arbitrary code execution. The second issue is rated
   moderate and is an out of bounds read in SVG Filters. This
   could potentially incorporate data from the user's memory,
   making it accessible to the page content.

   *

   MFSA 2012-13 / CVE-2012-0455: Firefox prevents the
   dropping of javascript: links onto a frame to prevent
   malicious sites from tricking users into performing a
   cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks on themselves. Security
   researcher Soroush Dalili reported a way to bypass this
   protection.

   *

   MFSA 2012-12 / CVE-2012-0454: Security researchers
   Blair Strang and Scott Bell of Security Assessment found
   that when a parent window spawns and closes a child window
   that uses the file open dialog, a crash can be induced in
   shlwapi.dll on 32-bit Windows 7 systems. This crash may be
   potentially exploitable.

   Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by
   this vulnerability.
