DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in multiple Mozilla products, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a use-after-free error in the
"nsXBLDocumentInfo::ReadPrototypeBindings()" method when handling XBL
bindings in a hash table and can be exploited to cause a cycle
collector to call an invalid virtual function.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Update Firefox and Thunderbird to version 10.0.1 and SeaMonkey to
version 2.7.1

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Andrew McCreight and Olli Pettay, Mozilla
developers.
