It was discovered that Firefox did not properly perform XUL garbage collection. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and 8.10. (CVE-2009-1044)
A flaw was discovered in the way Firefox performed XSLT transformations. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted XSL stylesheet, an attacker could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
(CVE-2009-1169).
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.
