Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Mozilla Firefox and Seamonkey, which could be exploited by attackers to bypass security restrictions, cause a denial of service or compromise an affected system.

The first issue is caused by memory corruption errors when processing malformed data, which could be exploited by attackers to crash a vulnerable browser or execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a malicious web page.

The second vulnerability is caused by a race condition when setting the "window.location" property, which could be exploited to conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.

The third issue is caused by an error when handling "jar:" URIs. For additional information, see : VUPEN/ADV-2007-3818
