The vulnerability report lists 10 different bugs, I believe only 5 of
them actually apply to firefox:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257523
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256316
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255067
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=250862
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=253942

Anyone who disagrees with my assessment please let me know. I'll apply
patches and make a new upload tonight.
