Mozilla Firefox was updated to 10.0.3 ESR to fix various bugs and security issues.

The following security issues have been fixed :

  - 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. (MFSA 2012-19)

    In general these flaws cannot be exploited through email     in the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products because     scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in     browser or browser-like contexts in those products.

    Bob Clary reported two bugs that causes crashes that     affected Firefox 3.6, Firefox ESR, and Firefox 10.
    (CVE-2012-0461)

    Christian Holler, Jesse Ruderman, Nils, Michael     Bebenita, Dindog, and David Anderson reported memory     safety problems and crashes that affect Firefox ESR and     Firefox 10. (CVE-2012-0462)

    Jeff Walden reported a memory safety problem in the     array.join function. This bug was independently reported     by Vincenzo Iozzo via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative     Pwn2Own contest. (CVE-2012-0464)

    Masayuki Nakano reported a memory safety problem that     affected Mobile Firefox

  - CVE-2012-0463

  - Mozilla developer Matt Brubeck reported that     window.fullScreen is writeable by untrusted content now     that the DOM fullscreen API is enabled. Because     window.fullScreen does not include     mozRequestFullscreen's security protections, it could be     used for UI spoofing. This code change makes     window.fullScreen read only by untrusted content,     forcing the use of the DOM fullscreen API in normal     usage. (MFSA 2012-18 / CVE-2012-0460)

    Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by this     vulnerability.

  - Mozilla community member Daniel Glazman of Disruptive     Innovations reported a crash when accessing a keyframe's     cssText after dynamic modification. This crash may be     potentially exploitable. (MFSA 2012-17 / CVE-2012-0459)

    Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by this     vulnerability.

  - Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski reported that an     attacker able to convince a potential victim to set a     new home page by dragging a link to the 'home' button     can set that user's home page to a javascript: URL. Once     this is done the attacker's page can cause repeated     crashes of the browser, eventually getting the script     URL loaded in the privileged about:sessionrestore     context. (MFSA 2012-16 / CVE-2012-0458)

  - Security Researcher Mike Brooks of Sitewatch reported     that if multiple Content Security Policy (CSP) headers     are present on a page, they have an additive effect page     policy. Using carriage return line feed (CRLF)     injection, a new CSP rule can be introduced which allows     for cross-site scripting (XSS) on sites with a separate     header injection vulnerability. (MFSA 2012-15 /     CVE-2012-0451)

    Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by this     vulnerability.

  - Security researcher Atte Kettunen from OUSPG found two     issues with Firefox's handling of SVG using the Address     Sanitizer tool. The first issue, critically rated, is a     use-after-free in SVG animation that could potentially     lead to arbitrary code execution. The second issue is     rated moderate and is an out of bounds read in SVG     Filters. This could potentially incorporate data from     the user's memory, making it accessible to the page     content. (MFSA 2012-14 / CVE-2012-0457 / CVE-2012-0456)

  - Firefox prevents the dropping of javascript: links onto     a frame to prevent malicious sites from tricking users     into performing a cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks on     themselves. Security researcher Soroush Dalili reported     a way to bypass this protection. (MFSA 2012-13 /     CVE-2012-0455)

  - Security researchers Blair Strang and Scott Bell of     Security Assessment found that when a parent window     spawns and closes a child window that uses the file open     dialog, a crash can be induced in shlwapi.dll on 32-bit     Windows 7 systems. This crash may be potentially     exploitable. (MFSA 2012-12 / CVE-2012-0454)

    Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by this     vulnerability.

  - Reworked the KDE4 integration. (bnc#745017)

The installed version of Firefox 10.0.x is potentially affected by the following security issues :
  - Multiple memory corruption issues. By tricking a user     into visiting a specially crafted page, these issues may     allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the     context of the affected application. (CVE-2012-0454,     CVE-2012-0457, CVE-2012-0459, CVE-2012-0461,     CVE-2012-0462, CVE-2012-0463, CVE-2012-0464)

  - An HTTP Header security bypass vulnerability exists that     can be leveraged by attackers to bypass certain security     restrictions and conduct cross-site scripting attacks.     (CVE-2012-0451).

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists that can be     exploited by an attacker if the victim can be tricked     into setting a new home page by dragging a specially     crafted link to the 'home' button URL, which will set     the user's home page to a 'javascript:' URL.     (CVE-2012-0458) 

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to an     out-of-bounds read in SVG filters. (CVE-2012-0456)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists that can be     triggered by dragging and dropping 'javascript:' links     onto a frame. (CVE-2012-0455)

  - 'window.fullScreen' is writeable by untrusted content,     allowing attackers to perform UI spoofing attacks.     (CVE-2012-0460)

Security issues were identified and fixed in mozilla firefox and thunderbird :
