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 as the user running Firefox.
(CVE-2009-1392, CVE-2009-1832, CVE-2009-1833, CVE-2009-1837, CVE-2009-1838,
CVE-2009-1841)

Multiple flaws were found in the processing of malformed, local file
content. If a user loaded malicious, local content via the file:// URL, it
was possible for that content to access other local data. (CVE-2009-1835,
CVE-2009-1839)

A script, privilege elevation flaw was found in the way Firefox loaded 
XML User Interface Language (XUL) scripts. Firefox and certain add-ons 
could load malicious content when certain policy checks did not happen.
(CVE-2009-1840)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox displayed certain Unicode characters 
in International Domain Names (IDN). If an IDN contained invalid 
characters, they may have been displayed as spaces, making it appear to 
the user that they were visiting a trusted site. (CVE-2009-1834)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled error responses returned 
from proxy servers. If an attacker is able to conduct a 
man-in-the-middle attack against a Firefox instance that is using a 
proxy server, they may be able to steal sensitive information from the 
site the user is visiting. (CVE-2009-1836)

After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes 
to take effect.
