May 2, 2012
An update that fixes 11 vulnerabilities is now available
Summary
MozillaFirefox was updated to the 10.0.4 ESR release to fix various bugs and security issues. * MFSA 2012-20: 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. Christian Holler a reported memory safety and security problem affecting Firefox 11. (CVE-2012-0468) Bob Clary, Christian Holler, Brian Hackett, Bobby
