CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2010:0808

Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser.

A race condition flaw was found in the way Firefox handled Document Object
Model (DOM) element properties. A web page containing malicious content
could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2010-3765)

For technical details regarding this flaw, refer to the Mozilla security
advisories for Firefox 3.6.12. You can find a link to the Mozilla
advisories in the References section of this erratum.

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