Microsoft is planning to release 11 security bulletins:

5 rated as Critical

5 rated as Important and

1 rated as Moderate

Advance notice

The Foxit Corporation has released Foxit Reader 3.2.1.0401 to address a critical vulnerability. Exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Foxit notice

Fixed in: Firefox 3.6.3

Description

A memory corruption flaw leading to code execution was reported by security researcher Nils of MWR InfoSecurity during the 2010 Pwn2Own contest sponsored by TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative. By moving DOM nodes between documents Nils found a case where the moved node incorrectly retained its old scope. If garbage collection could be triggered at the right time then Firefox would later use this freed object.
