March 28, 2012
An update that fixes 12 vulnerabilities is now available
Summary
Mozilla Firefox was updated to 10.0.3 ESR to fix various bugs and security issues. The following security issues have been fixed: * MFSA 2012-19: Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. In general these flaws cannot be exploited through email in the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products because scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in browser or browser-like contexts in those products.
