The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2008-0304 It was discovered that a buffer overflow in MIME decoding can lead to the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2008-2785 It was discovered that missing boundary checks on a reference counter for CSS objects can lead to the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2008-2798 Devon Hubbard, Jesse Ruderman and Martijn Wargers discovered crashes in the layout engine, which might allow the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2008-2799 Igor Bukanov, Jesse Ruderman and Gary Kwong discovered crashes in the Javascript engine, which might allow the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2008-2802 "moz_bug_r_a4" discovered that XUL documements can escalate privileges by accessing the pre-compiled "fastload" file. CVE-2008-2803 "moz_bug_r_a4" discovered that missing input sanitising in the mozIJSSubScriptLoader.loadSubScript() function could lead to the execution of arbitrary code. Iceweasel itself is not affected, but some addons are. CVE-2008-2807 Daniel Glazman discovered that aprogramming error in the code for parsing .properties files could lead to memory content being exposed to addons, which could lead to information disclosure.
