Description:


   MozillaFirefox was updated to the 31.5.3ESR release to fix two security
   vulnerabilities:

       *

         MFSA 2015-29 / CVE-2015-0817: Security researcher ilxu1a reported,
   through HP Zero Day Initiative's Pwn2Own contest, a flaw in Mozilla's
   implementation of typed array bounds checking in JavaScript just-in-time
   compilation (JIT) and its management of bounds checking for heap access.
   This flaw can be leveraged into the reading and writing of memory allowing
   for arbitary code execution on the local system.

       *

         MFSA 2015-28 / CVE-2015-0818: Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski
   reported, through HP Zero Day Initiative's Pwn2Own contest, a method to
   run arbitrary scripts in a privileged context. This bypassed the
   same-origin policy protections by using a flaw in the processing of SVG
   format content navigation.
