Synopsis:    Critical: firefox security update
Issue Date:  2012-02-16
CVE Numbers: CVE-2011-3026


Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser.

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Firefox handled
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) images. A web page containing a malicious
PNG image could cause Firefox to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2011-3026)

All Firefox users should upgrade to this updated package, which corrects
this issue. After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the
changes to take effect.

SL4:
  i386
     firefox-3.6.26-3.el4.i386.rpm

     firefox-3.6.26-3.el4.x86_64.rpm
     firefox-debuginfo-3.6.26-3.el4.x86_64.rpm
