Security issues were identified and fixed in firefox:

Security researchers Yosuke Hasegawa and Masatoshi Kimura reported that
the x-mac-arabic, x-mac-farsi and x-mac-hebrew character encodings are
vulnerable to XSS attacks due to some characters being converted to
angle brackets when displayed by the rendering engine. Sites using
these character encodings would thus be potentially vulnerable to
script injection attacks if their script filtering code fails to
strip out these specific characters (CVE-2010-3770).

Google security researcher Michal Zalewski reported that when a
window was opened to a site resulting in a network or certificate
error page, the opening site could access the document inside the
opened window and inject arbitrary content. An attacker could use
this bug to spoof the location bar and trick a user into thinking
they were on a different site than they actually were (CVE-2010-3774).

Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported that the fix for
CVE-2010-0179 could be circumvented permitting the execution of
arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges (CVE-2010-3773).

Security researcher regenrecht reported via TippingPoint's Zero
Day Initiative that JavaScript arrays were vulnerable to an integer
overflow vulnerability. The report demonstrated that an array could
be constructed containing a very large number of items such that when
memory was allocated to store the array items, the integer value used
to calculate the buffer size would overflow resulting in too small a
buffer being allocated. Subsequent use of the array object could then
result in data being written past the end of the buffer and causing
memory corruption (CVE-2010-3767).

Security researcher regenrecht reported via TippingPoint's Zero Day
Initiative that a nsDOMAttribute node can be modified without informing
the iterator object responsible for various DOM traversals. This
flaw could lead to a inconsistent state where the iterator points
to an object it believes is part of the DOM but actually points to
some other object. If such an object had been deleted and its memory
reclaimed by the system, then the iterator could be used to call into
attacker-controlled memory (CVE-2010-3766).

Security researcher Gregory Fleischer reported that when a Java
LiveConnect script was loaded via a data: URL which redirects via a
meta refresh, then the resulting plugin object was created with the
wrong security principal and thus received elevated privileges such
as the abilities to read local files, launch processes, and create
network connections (CVE-2010-3775).

Mozilla added the OTS font sanitizing library to prevent downloadable
fonts from exposing vulnerabilities in the underlying OS font
code. This library mitigates against several issues independently
reported by Red Hat Security Response Team member Marc Schoenefeld
and Mozilla security researcher Christoph Diehl (CVE-2010-3768).

Security researcher wushi of team509 reported that when a XUL
tree had an HTML
element nested inside a
element then code attempting to display content in the XUL tree would
incorrectly treat the
element as a parent node to tree content
underneath it resulting in incorrect indexes being calculated for the
child content. These incorrect indexes were used in subsequent array
operations which resulted in writing data past the end of an allocated
buffer. An attacker could use this issue to crash a victim's browser
and run arbitrary code on their machine (CVE-2010-3772).

Security researcher echo reported that a web page could open a window
with an about:blank location and then inject an element
into that page which upon submission would redirect to a chrome:
document. The effect of this defect was that the original page would
wind up with a reference to a chrome-privileged object, the opened
window, which could be leveraged for privilege escalation attacks
(CVE-2010-3771).

Dirk Heinrich reported that on Windows platforms when document.write()
was called with a very long string a buffer overflow was caused in line
breaking routines attempting to process the string for display. Such
cases triggered an invalid read past the end of an array causing a
crash which an attacker could potentially use to run arbitrary code
on a victim's computer (CVE-2010-3769).

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
(CVE-2010-3776, CVE-2010-3777).

Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance
Program. Please visit this link to learn more:
http://store.mandriva.com/product_info.php?cPath=149&products_id=490

Additionally, some packages which require so, have been rebuilt and
are being provided as updates.

Update:

A mistake was done with the MDVSA-2010:251 advisory where the actual
firefox software was NOT updated to the 3.6.13 version which in
turn lead to that some packages wasn't rebuilt against the correct
version. The secteam wishes to apologise for the misfortunate mistake
and also wishes everyone a great christmas.
