A flaw was discovered in handling of β€˜about:blank’ windows used by addons. A malicious website could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data (such as passwords), of other web pages.
(CVE-2007-3844)

Jesper Johansson discovered that spaces and double-quotes were not correctly handled when launching external programs. In rare configurations, after tricking a user into opening a malicious web page, an attacker could execute helpers with arbitrary arguments with the user’s privileges. (CVE-2007-3845).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
