--

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-2015-4513, CVE-2015-7189, CVE-2015-7194,
CVE-2015-7196, CVE-2015-7198, CVE-2015-7197)

A same-origin policy bypass flaw was found in the way Firefox handled
certain cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) requests. A web page
containing malicious content could cause Firefox to disclose sensitive
information. (CVE-2015-7193)

A same-origin policy bypass flaw was found in the way Firefox handled URLs
containing IP addresses with white-space characters. This could lead to
cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2015-7188)

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