Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xulrunner, a
runtime environment for XUL applications, such as the Iceweasel web
browser. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies
the following problems:

CVE-2009-3986:

David James discovered that the window.opener property allows Chrome
privilege escalation.

could be spoofed through the document.location property.

CVE-2009-3983:

Takehiro Takahashi discovered that the NTLM implementaion is vulnerable
to reflection attacks.

CVE-2009-3981:

Jesse Ruderman discovered a crash in the layout engine, which might allow
the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2009-3979:

Jesse Ruderman, Josh Soref, Martijn Wargers, Jose Angel and Olli Pettay
discovered crashes in the layout engine, which might allow the execution
of arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.9.0.16-1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.9.1.6-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your xulrunner packages.
