  - MFSA 2008-09/CVE-2008-0592 Mishandling of locally-saved     plain text files

  - MFSA 2008-08/CVE-2008-0591 File action dialog tampering

  - MFSA 2008-06/CVE-2008-0419 Web browsing history and     forward navigation stealing

  - MFSA 2008-05/CVE-2008-0418 Directory traversal via     chrome: URI

  - MFSA 2008-04/CVE-2008-0417 Stored password corruption

  - MFSA 2008-01/CVE-2008-0412/CVE-2008-0413 Crashes with     evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.8.1.12)

The installed version of Firefox is affected by various security issues :

 - Several stability bugs leading to crashes that, in some cases, show traces of memory corruption
 - Several file input focus stealing vulnerabilities that could result in uploading of arbitrary files provided their full path and file names are known.
 - Several issues that allow scripts from page content to escape from their sandboxed context and/or run with chrome privileges, resulting in privilege escalation, XSS and/or remote code execution.
 - An issue that could allow a malicious site to inject newlines into the application's password store when a user saves his password, resulting in corruption of saved passwords for other sites.
 - A directory traversal vulnerability via the 'chrome:' URI.
 - A vulnerability involving 'designMode' frames that may result in web browsing history and forward navigation stealing.
 - A file action dialog tampering vulnerability involving timer-enabled security dialogs.
 - Mis-handling of locally-saved plain text files.
 - Possible disclosure of sensitive URL parameters, such as session tokens, via the .href property of stylesheet DOM nodes reflecting the final URI of the stylesheet after following any 302 redirects.
 - A failure to display a web forgery warning dialog in cases where the entire contents of a page are enclosed in a '<div>' tag with absolute positioning.
