   An update that contains security fixes can now be
   installed. It includes two new package versions.

Description:


   Mozilla Firefox was updated to version 3.6.23, fixing
   various bugs and  security issues.

   *

   MFSA 2011-36: 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.

   *

   Benjamin Smedberg, Bob Clary, and Jesse Ruderman
   reported memory safety problems that affected Firefox 3.6
   and Firefox 6. (CVE-2011-2995)

   *

   Josh Aas reported a potential crash in the plugin API
   that affected Firefox 3.6 only. (CVE-2011-2996)

   *

   MFSA 2011-37: Mark Kaplan reported a potentially
   exploitable crash due to integer underflow when using a
   large JavaScript RegExp expression. We would also like to
   thank Mark for contributing the fix for this problem. (no
   CVE yet)

   *

   MFSA 2011-38: Mozilla developer Boris Zbarsky
   reported that a frame named "location" could shadow the
   window.location object unless a script in a page grabbed a
   reference to the true object before the frame was created.
   Because some plugins use the value of window.location to
   determine the page origin this could fool the plugin into
   granting the plugin content access to another site or the
   local file system in violation of the Same Origin Policy.
   This flaw allows circumvention of the fix added for MFSA
   2010-10. (CVE-2011-2999)

   *

   MFSA 2011-39: Ian Graham of Citrix Online reported
   that when multiple Location headers were present in a
   redirect response Mozilla behavior differed from other
   browsers: Mozilla would use the second Location header
   while Chrome and Internet Explorer would use the first. Two
   copies of this header with different values could be a
   symptom of a CRLF injection attack against a vulnerable
   server. Most commonly it is the Location header itself that
   is vulnerable to the response splitting and therefore the
   copy preferred by Mozilla is more likely to be the
   malicious one. It is possible, however, that the first copy
   was the injected one depending on the nature of the server
   vulnerability.

   The Mozilla browser engine has been changed to treat
   two copies of this header with different values as an error
   condition. The same has been done with the headers   Content-Length and Content-Disposition. (CVE-2011-3000)

   *

   MFSA 2011-40: Mariusz Mlynski reported that if you
   could convince a user to hold down the Enter key--as part
   of a game or test, perhaps--a malicious page could pop up a
   download dialog where the held key would then activate the
   default Open action. For some file types this would be
   merely annoying (the equivalent of a pop-up) but other file
   types have powerful scripting capabilities. And this would
   provide an avenue for an attacker to exploit a
   vulnerability in applications not normally exposed to
   potentially hostile internet content.

   Holding enter allows arbitrary code execution due to
   Download Manager (CVE-2011-2372)
