CVE-2008-1234 moz_bug_r_a4 discovered that insecure handling of event handlers could lead to cross-site scripting. CVE-2008-1235 Boris Zbarsky, Johnny Stenback, and moz_bug_r_a4 discovered that incorrect principal handling can lead to cross-site scripting and the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2008-1236 Tom Ferris, Seth Spitzer, Martin Wargers, John Daggett and Mats Palmgren discovered crashes in the layout engine, which might allow the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2008-1237 georgi, tgirmann and Igor Bukanov discovered crashes in the Javascript engine, which might allow the execution of arbitrary code.
