CVE-2010-3765Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird — memory corruption from a page

Firefox 3.5 and 3.6, Thunderbird 3.0 and 3.1 and SeaMonkey 2.x corrupt memory while building page structure, so a crafted page with scripting enabled runs the attacker's code. Exploited in the wild from October 2010.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Retire these Mozilla versions — all are far out of support; move to a current Firefox or Thunderbird release rather than trying to patch them.
