DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Firefox, 
which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request 
forgery
attacks and potentially to compromise a user's system.

1) A race condition when setting the "window.location" property 
can
be exploited to generate a fake HTTP Referer header, which can 
be
used to conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.

2) Some unspecified errors can be exploited to cause memory
corruption and potentially allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 2.0.0.10.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.0.0.10.
