Mozilla addresses critical bugs with Firefox 3.5.6

The update fixes a critical vulnerability in the browser engine used in Firefox that could cause a crash, possibly leading to memory corruption and the execution of arbitrary code. The other two critical bugs in liboggplay and the Theora video library could also lead to a crash and potentially execute arbitrary code on a victim's computer. Additionally, one high risk vulnerability in which "NTLM credentials from one application could be forwarded to another arbitary application via the browser", two moderate risk issues related to the location bar and the chrome window.opener, and one low risk vulnerability, have been closed.
