Synopsis:	Critical: firefox security update
Issue date:	2010-10-27
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-3765

A race condition flaw was found in the way Firefox handled Document
Object Model (DOM) element properties. A web page containing malicious
content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2010-3765)

After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes
to take effect.

SL 4.x
