Title: Miscellaneous memory safety hazards (rv:1.9.2.7/ 1.9.1.11)
Impact: Critical
Announced: July 20, 2010
Reporter: Mozilla developers and community
Products: Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey
Fixed in: Firefox 3.6.7
Firefox 3.5.11
Thunderbird 3.1.1

SeaMonkey 2.0.6
Description
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.
