   An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.
   It includes two new package versions.

Description:


   Mozilla Firefox was updated to the 24.8.0ESR release, fixing security
   issues and bugs.

   Only some of the published security advisories affect the Mozilla Firefox
   24ESR codestream:

       * MFSA 2014-72 / CVE-2014-1567: Security researcher regenrecht
         reported, via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative, a use-after-free
         during text layout when interacting with the setting of text
         direction. This results in a use-after-free which can lead to
         arbitrary code execution.
       * MFSA 2014-67: Mozilla developers and community identified and fixed
         several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and
         other Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs showed evidence of
   memory corruption under certain circumstances, and we presume that with
   enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary
   code.
       * Jan de Mooij reported a memory safety problem that affects Firefox
         ESR 24.7, ESR 31 and Firefox 31. (CVE-2014-1562)
