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-2010-1121, CVE-2010-1200, CVE-2010-1202, 
CVE-2010-1203)

A flaw was found in the way browser plug-ins interact. It was possible 
for a plug-in to reference the freed memory from a different plug-in, 
resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the 
user running Firefox. (CVE-2010-1198)

Several integer overflow 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-2010-1196, CVE-2010-1199)

A focus stealing flaw was found in the way Firefox handled focus 
changes. A malicious website could use this flaw to steal sensitive data 
from a user, such as usernames and passwords. (CVE-2010-1125)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled the "Content-Disposition:
attachment" HTTP header when the "Content-Type: multipart" HTTP header 
was also present. A website that allows arbitrary uploads and relies on 
the "Content-Disposition: attachment" HTTP header to prevent content 
from being displayed inline, could be used by an attacker to serve 
malicious content to users. (CVE-2010-1197)

A flaw was found in the Firefox Math.random() function. This function 
could be used to identify a browsing session and track a user across 
different websites. (CVE-2008-5913)

A flaw was found in the Firefox XML document loading security checks.
Certain security checks were not being called when an XML document was
loaded. This could possibly be leveraged later by an attacker to load
certain resources that violate the security policies of the browser or 
its add-ons. Note that this issue cannot be exploited by only loading an 
XML document. (CVE-2010-0182)

This erratum upgrades Firefox from version 3.0.19 to version 3.6.4, and 
as such, contains multiple bug fixes and numerous enhancements. Space
precludes documenting these changes in this advisory.

Important: Firefox 3.6.4 is not completely backwards-compatible with all
Mozilla Add-ons and Firefox plug-ins that worked with Firefox 3.0.19.
Firefox 3.6 checks compatibility on first-launch, and, depending on the
individual configuration and the installed Add-ons and plug-ins, may
disable said Add-ons and plug-ins, or attempt to check for updates and
upgrade them. Add-ons and plug-ins may have to be manually updated.

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