| Detailed Description |
A version of Mozilla Firefox which is older than 3.6.20 has been installed on the host. Mozilla is an open-source based Web browser, developed by the Mozilla project. Mozilla Firefox versions 3.6.x prior to 3.6.20 are vulnerable to multiple vulnerabilities.
- A dangling pointer vulnerability exists in an SVG text manipulation routine. (CVE-2011-0084)

- An error exists in 'ThinkPadSensor::Startup' that can allow malicious DLLs to be loaded. (CVE-2011-2980)
- An error exists in the event management code that can allow JavaScript to execute in the context of a different website and possibly in the chrome-privileged context. (CVE-2011-2981)
- Various unspecified memory safety issues exist. (CVE-2011-2982)
