This update caused several regressions that could result in search engine settings being lost, the list of search providers appearing empty or the location bar breaking after typing an invalid URL. This update fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. Francis Gabriel discovered a buffer overflow during ASN.1 decoding in NSS. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox.
