Impact
Mozilla contributors moz_bug_r_a4, Boris Zbarsky, and Johnny Stenback reported a series of vulnerabilities which allow scripts from page content to run with elevated privileges. moz_bug_r_a4 demonstrated additional variants of MFSA 2007-25 and MFSA2007-35 (arbitrary code execution through XPCNativeWrapper pollution). Additional vulnerabilities reported separately by Boris Zbarsky, Johnny Stenback, and moz_bug_r_a4 showed that the browser could be forced to run JavaScript code using the wrong principal leading to universal XSS and arbitrary code execution.

All Users should upgrade to the latest versions of Firefox, Thunderbird or Seamonkey.
