This appeared to be a repeat of the Debian vulnerability from Monday. In fact the vulnerability appears to be the same. The Monday alert, DSA 775-1, actually applies to Firefox rather than the Mozilla browser. The package name should have been mozilla-firefox on Monday.

It appears as if they have fixed this on their site.
