3. Description:

 

Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL

Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox.

 

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web

page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or,

potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running

Firefox. (CVE-2014-1562, CVE-2014-1567)

 

Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting these issues.

Upstream acknowledges Jan de Mooij as the original reporter of

CVE-2014-1562, and regenrecht as the original reporter of CVE-2014-1567.

 

For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla security

advisories for Firefox 24.8.0 ESR. You can find a link to the Mozilla

advisories in the References section of this erratum.

 

All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain

Firefox version 24.8.0 ESR, which corrects these issues. After installing

the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

 

4. Solution:
