compliance, performance and portability.

Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser.

Igor Bukanov discovered a bug in the way Firefox's

JavaScript interpreter dereferences objects. If a user

visits a malicious web page, Firefox could crash or execute

arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. The Common

Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name

CVE-2006-0292 to this issue.

moz_bug_r_a4 discovered a bug in Firefox's

XULDocument.persist() function. A malicious web page could

inject arbitrary RDF data into a user's localstore.rdf file,

which can cause Firefox to execute arbitrary JavaScript when

a user runs Firefox. (CVE-2006-0296)

A denial of service bug was found in the way Firefox saves

history information. If a user visits a web page with a very

long title, it is possible Firefox will crash or take a very

long time to start the next time it is run. (CVE-2005-4134)
