Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
 
CVE-2008-0016

   Justin Schuh, Tom Cross and Peter Williams discovered a buffer
   overflow in the parser for UTF-8 URLs, which may lead to the
   execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2008-3835

   "moz_bug_r_a4" discovered that the same-origin check in
   nsXMLDocument::OnChannelRedirect() could by bypassed.

CVE-2008-3836

   "moz_bug_r_a4" discovered that several vulnerabilities in
   feedWriter could lead to Chrome privilege escalation.

CVE-2008-3837

   Paul Nickerson discovered that an attacker could move windows
   during a mouse click, resulting in unwanted action triggered by
   drag-and-drop.

CVE-2008-4058

   "moz_bug_r_a4" discovered a vulnerability which can result in
   Chrome privilege escalation through XPCNativeWrappers.

CVE-2008-4059

   "moz_bug_r_a4" discovered a vulnerability which can result in
   Chrome privilege escalation through XPCNativeWrappers.

CVE-2008-4060

   Olli Pettay and "moz_bug_r_a4" discovered a Chrome privilege
   escalation vulnerability in XSLT handling.

CVE-2008-4061

   allow the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2008-4062

   Igor Bukanov, Philip Taylor, Georgi Guninski and Antoine Labour
   discovered crashes in the Javascript engine, which might allow the
   execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2008-4065

   Dave Reed discovered that some Unicode byte order marks are
   stripped from Javascript code before execution, which can result in
   code being executed, which were otherwise part of a quoted string.

CVE-2008-4066

   Gareth Heyes discovered that some Unicode surrogate characters are
   ignored by the HTML parser.

CVE-2008-4067

   Boris Zbarsky discovered that resource: URls allow directory

CVE-2008-4068

   Georgi Guninski discovered that resource: URLs could bypass local
   access restrictions.

CVE-2008-4069

   Billy Hoffman discovered that the XBM decoder could reveal
   uninitialised memory.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.0.0.17-0etch1. Packages for hppa will be provided later.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.0.3 of iceweasel and 1.9.0.3-1 of xulrunner.

We recommend that you upgrade your iceweasel package.
