Summary
=======

The Scientific Linux team has published **critical** security updates for
Scientific Linux 5 and 6.

The list of security issues includes remote code execution in Firefox and NSS,
which some applications use for certificate validation.

Other distributions, notably Ubuntu, are affected by some of the same bugs.
Please make sure to update systems not running Scientific Linux as well.

Further information can be found at https://lwn.net/Security/.


Schedule
========

The updates are available in the Unstable and Testing repositories now. Please
test them and let me know if you run into any issues.

If no problems are reported till 13:00 tomorrow, I will push the updates to 
the
Stable repository.
