NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.16 and 3.6.x before 3.6.13, Thunderbird before 3.0.11 and 3.1.x before 3.1.7, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.11 do not properly validate downloadable fonts before use within an operating system's font implementation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to @font-face Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) rules.
