CVE-2011-0073 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:12.10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by Ubuntu.
Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.19 and 3.6.x before 3.6.17, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.14, does not properly use nsTreeRange data structures, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors that lead to a "dangling pointer."
