For the oldstable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.4-2sarge17. You should upgrade to etch as soon as possible.
The stable distribution (etch) isn't affected. These vulnerabilities have been fixed prior to the release of Debian etch.
The unstable distribution (sid) no longer contains mozilla-firefox. Iceweasel is already fixed.
