[Backports-security-announce] Security Update for iceweasel



Alexander Reichle-Schmehl uploaded new packages for iceweasel which
fixed the following security problems:
  
CVE-2010-1206:

  The startDocumentLoad function in browser/base/content/browser.js in
  Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x before 3.5.11 and 3.6.x before 3.6.7, and
  SeaMonkey before 2.0.6, does not properly implement the Same Origin
  Policy in certain circumstances related to the about:blank document and
  a document that is currently loading, which allows (1) remote web
  servers to conduct spoofing attacks via vectors involving a 204 (aka No
  Content) status code, and allows (2) remote attackers to conduct
  spoofing attacks via vectors involving a window.stop call.

For the lenny-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in
version 3.5.11-1~bpo50+1.

For the squeeze and sid distributions the problems have been fixed in
version 3.5.11-1.

Upgrade instructions

If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the package
manually via "apt-get -t lenny-backports install <packagelist>" with
the packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update.
