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-2010-1208, CVE-2010-1209, CVE-2010-1211, 
CVE-2010-1212, CVE-2010-1214, CVE-2010-1215, CVE-2010-2752, CVE-2010-2753)

A memory corruption flaw was found in the way Firefox decoded certain 
PNG images. An attacker could create a specially-crafted PNG image that, 
when opened, could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute 
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. 
(CVE-2010-1205)

Several same-origin policy bypass flaws were found in Firefox. An 
attacker could create a malicious web page that, when viewed by a 
victim, could steal private data from a different website the victim has 
loaded with Firefox. (CVE-2010-0654, CVE-2010-1207, CVE-2010-1213, 
CVE-2010-2754)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox presented the location bar to a 
user. A malicious website could trick a user into thinking they are 
visiting the site reported by the location bar, when the page is 
actually content controlled by an attacker. (CVE-2010-1206)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox displayed the location bar when
visiting a secure web page. A malicious server could use this flaw to
present data that appears to originate from a secure server, even though 
it does not. (CVE-2010-2751)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox displayed certain malformed 
characters. A malicious web page could use this flaw to bypass certain 
string sanitization methods, allowing it to display malicious 
information to users. (CVE-2010-1210)

For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla 
security advisories for Firefox 3.6.7.

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