   An update that contains security fixes can now be
   installed. It includes two new package versions.

Description:


   MozillaFirefox was updated to the 10.0.10ESR security
   release.

   The following issues have been fixed:

   *

   MFSA 2012-90: Mozilla has fixed a number of issues
   related to the Location object in order to enhance overall
   security. Details for each of the current fixed issues are
   below.

   Thunderbird is only affected by window.location
   issues through RSS feeds and extensions that load web
   content.

   *

   CVE-2012-4194: Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski
   reported that the true value of window.location could be
   shadowed by user content through the use of the valueOf
   method, which can be combined with some plugins to perform
   a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack on users.

   *

   CVE-2012-4195: Mozilla security researcher
   moz_bug_r_a4 discovered that the CheckURL function in
   window.location can be forced to return the wrong calling
   document and principal, allowing a cross-site scripting
   (XSS) attack. There is also the possibility of gaining
   arbitrary code execution if the attacker can take advantage
   of an add-on that interacts with the page content.

   *

   CVE-2012-4196: Security researcher Antoine
   Delignat-Lavaud of the PROSECCO research team at INRIA
   Paris reported the ability to use property injection by
   prototype to bypass security wrapper protections on the
   Location object, allowing the cross-origin reading of the
   Location object.
