(CVE-2009-1302, CVE-2009-1303, CVE-2009-1304, CVE-2009-1305)
Several flaws were found in the way malformed web content was processed.
A web page containing malicious content could execute arbitrary
JavaScript in the context of the site, possibly presenting misleading
data to a user, or stealing sensitive information such as login
credentials. (CVE-2009-0652, CVE-2009-1306, CVE-2009-1307,
CVE-2009-1308, CVE-2009-1309, CVE-2009-1310, CVE-2009-1312)
A flaw was found in the way Firefox saved certain web pages to a local
file. If a user saved the inner frame of a web page containing POST
data, the POST data could be revealed to the inner frame, possibly
surrendering sensitive information such as login credentials.
(CVE-2009-1311)
After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes
to take effect.
