No, they did not. This security issue was reported/fixed for Firefox
by Mozilla in their internal cairo copy:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2044

The version noted in the tracker is taken from changelogs if the
issue can be clearly identified. If that is not the case - as with
CVE-2009-2044 - we check the code, but don't copy information from
security databases, CVE descriptions and other poorly maintained
information sources.
