Mozilla Firefox 'gfxTextRun::SanitizeGlyphRuns()' Remote Memory Corruption Vulnerability

Mozilla Firefox is prone to a remote memory-corruption vulnerability.

Successful exploits may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

Firefox 3.6 for Apple Mac OS X is vulnerable.
