   An update that fixes four vulnerabilities is now available.
   It includes one version update.

Description:


   MozillaFirefox has been updated to version 31.5.0 ESR to fix five security
   issues.

   These security issues have been fixed:

       * CVE-2015-0836: Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser
         engine in Mozilla Firefox before 31.5 allowed remote attackers to
         cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash)
         or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors (bnc#917597).
       * CVE-2015-0827: Heap-based buffer overflow in the
         mozilla::gfx::CopyRect function in Mozilla Firefox before 31.5
         allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from
         uninitialized process memory via a malformed SVG graphic
         (bnc#917597).
       * CVE-2015-0835: Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser
         engine in Mozilla Firefox before 36.0 allowed remote attackers to
         cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash)
         or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors (bnc#917597).
       * CVE-2015-0831: Use-after-free vulnerability in the
         mozilla::dom::IndexedDB::IDBObjectStore::CreateIndex function in
         Mozilla Firefox before 31.5 allowed remote attackers to execute
         arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption)
         via crafted content that is improperly handled during IndexedDB
         index creation (bnc#917597).
       * CVE-2015-0822: The Form Autocompletion feature in Mozilla Firefox
         before 31.5 allowed remote attackers to read arbitrary files via
         crafted JavaScript code (bnc#917597).

   These non-security issues have been fixed:

       * Reverted desktop file name back to MozillaFirefox.desktop
         (bnc#916196, bnc#917100)
       * Obsolete subpackages of firefox-gcc47 from SLE11-SP1/2, that caused
         problems when upgrading to SLE11-SP3 (bnc#917300)
