Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL
Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox.
Multiple flaws were found in the location object implementation in Firefox.
Malicious content could be used to perform cross-site scripting attacks,
bypass the same-origin policy, or cause Firefox to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2012-4194, CVE-2012-4195, CVE-2012-4196)
For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla security
advisories for Firefox 10.0.10 ESR. You can find a link to the Mozilla
