[news 28]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hash: SHA256

 

Package : firefox-esr

Version : 45.2.0esr-1~deb7u1

CVE ID : CVE-2016-2818 CVE-2016-2819 CVE-2016-2821 CVE-2016-2822

CVE-2016-2828 CVE-2016-2831

 

Multiple security issues have been found in the Mozilla Firefox web

browser: Multiple memory safety errors, buffer overflows and other

implementation errors may lead to the execution of arbitrary code or

spoofing.

 

Wait, Firefox? No more references to Iceweasel? That's right, Debian no

longer applies a custom branding. Please see these links for further

information:

Debian follows the extended support releases (ESR) of Firefox. Support

for the 38.x series has ended, so starting with this update we're now

following the 45.x releases and this update to the next ESR is also the

point where we reapply the original branding.

 

Transition packages for the iceweasel packages are provided which

automatically upgrade to the new version. Since new binary packages need

to be installed, make sure to allow that in your upgrade procedure (e.g.

by using "apt-get dist-upgrade" instead of "apt-get upgrade").

 

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version

45.2.0esr-1~deb7u1.

 

We recommend that you upgrade your firefox-esr packages.

these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
