The Mozilla Foundation has released updates for the following products to address multiple vulnerabilities.

  • Firefox 21.0
  • Firefox ESR 17.0.6
  • Thunderbird 17.0.6

These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, cause a denial-of-service condition, obtain sensitive information, or operate with elevated privileges.

US-CERT encourages users and administrators to review the Mozilla Foundation Advisory for Firefox 21.0, Firefox ESR 17.0.6, Thunderbird 17.0.6, and Thunderbird ESR 17.0.6 and apply any necessary updates to help mitigate the risk.

Why is installing this Update mandatory?

All ColdFusion updates are now signed with the new code signing certificate because of a code signing certificate revocation. This mandatory Update ensures that your current installation of ColdFusion 10 is updated with the new code signing certificate. This update is also required for proper functioning of the auto update functionality in ColdFusion 10. Adobe strongly recommends that you apply this update.

  • If you have ColdFusion 10 Update 1 or ColdFusion 10 Update 2 already installed, then, applying this mandatory update will not affect your current ColdFusion setup. However, it ensures that you can install any future updates to ColdFusion 10.
  • If you do not have ColdFusion 10 Update 1 or ColdFusion 10 Update 2 already installed, then, you must install the ColdFusion 10 Mandatory Update to be able to install ColdFusion 10 Update 1, ColdFusion 10 Update 2, or any future updates.
