Multiple security issues have been found in Iceweasel, Debian's version of the Mozilla Firefox web browser: Multiple memory safety errors, buffer overflows, missing permission checks, out of bound reads, use-after-frees and other implementation errors may lead to the execution of arbitrary code, privilege escalation, cross-site scripting or denial of service.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 24.5.0esr-1~deb7u1. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 24.5.0esr-1. We recommend that you upgrade your iceweasel packages.

Iceweasel is Firefox, rebranded. It is a powerful, extensible web browser with support for modern web application technologies.
