Mozilla Firefox was upgraded to version 3.5.8, fixing various bugs and security issues.
The following security issues have been fixed :
Mozilla developers identified and fixed several stability bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these crashes 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 2010-01 / CVE-2010-0159)
Security researcher Orlando Barrera II reported via TippingPointâs Zero Day Initiative that Mozillaâs implementation of Web Workers contained an error in its handling of array data types when processing posted messages. This error could be used by an attacker to corrupt heap memory and crash the browser, potentially running arbitrary code on a victimâs computer. (MFSA 2010-02 / CVE-2010-0160)
Security researcher Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research reported that the HTML parser incorrectly freed used memory when insufficient space was available to process remaining input. Under such circumstances, memory occupied by in-use objects was freed and could later be filled with attacker-controlled text. These conditions could result in the execution or arbitrary code if methods on the freed objects were subsequently called.
(MFSA 2010-03 / CVE-2009-1571)
Security researcher Hidetake Jo of Microsoft Vulnerability Research reported that the properties set on an object passed to showModalDialog were readable by the document contained in the dialog, even when the document was from a different domain. This is a violation of the same-origin policy and could result in a website running untrusted JavaScript if it assumed the dialogArguments could not be initialized by another site. (MFSA 2010-04 / CVE-2009-3988)
An anonymous security researcher, via TippingPointâs Zero Day Initiative, also independently reported this issue to Mozilla.

- Mozilla security researcher Georgi Guninski reported
that when a SVG document which is served with
Content-Type: application/octet-stream is embedded into
another document via an tag with type='image/svg+xml',
the Content-Type is ignored and the SVG document is
processed normally. A website which allows arbitrary
binary data to be uploaded but which relies on
Content-Type: application/octet-stream to prevent script
execution could have such protection bypassed. An
attacker could upload a SVG document containing
JavaScript as a binary file to a website, embed the SVG
document into a malicous page on another site, and gain
access to the script environment from the SVG-serving
site, bypassing the same-origin policy. (MFSA 2010-05 /
