CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2008:0598

Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser.

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way Firefox displayed certain web
content. A malicious web site could cause Firefox to crash, or execute
arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Firefox.

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled certain command line URLs. If
another application passed Firefox a malformed URL, it could result in
Firefox executing local malicious content with chrome privileges.

backported patches that correct these issues.
