This looks like an ad-wrapper around the information from https://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2012/mfsa2012-11.h... .

Great invention! Why don't you appreciate the other information provided?

Invention? I fail to understand.

In any case, in your posting (I see that you wrote that info tidbit):

1) most of the page was advertisement. I don't mean only the various side-bar and in-line ads, and massive numbers of links to other content from the same site, but the text itself including things like "Attackers can exploit your PC remotely" where "exploit" had a mouseover to an ad to "Watch TV live" and "your PC" was an iPhone mouseover ad.

2) the information was wrong: there is no known exploit. The actual published bug "allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors that trigger an integer truncation". This may or may not be an exploit.
