Mozilla XULRunner 1.9.1 was updated to the 1.9.1.19 security release.

  - Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory     safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and     other Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs showed     evidence of memory corruption under certain     circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at     least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary     code.

  - Chris Evans of the Chrome Security Team reported that     the XSLT generate-id() function returned a string that     revealed a specific valid address of an object on the     memory heap. It is possible that in some cases this     address would be valuable information that could be used     by an attacker while exploiting a different memory     corruption but, in order to make an exploit more     reliable or work around mitigation features in the     browser or operating system.
