Fedora 9 FEDORA-2009-3099 Critical: Firefox Memory Flaws Exploit

Miro is a free application that turns your computer into an

internet TV video player. This release is still a beta version, which means

that there are some bugs, but we're moving quickly to fix them and will be

releasing bug fixes on a regular basis.

Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL

Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox. A memory corruption flaw was

discovered in the way Firefox handles XML files containing an XSLT transform. A

remote attacker could use this flaw to crash Firefox or, potentially, execute

arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2009-1169) A flaw was

discovered in the way Firefox handles certain XUL garbage collection events. A

remote attacker could use this flaw to crash Firefox or, potentially, execute

arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2009-1044) This update also

provides depending packages rebuilt against new Firefox version. Miro updates
