CVE-2016-0718 [CRITICAL] Firefox vulnerabilities
Title: Firefox vulnerabilities
Summary: Firefox could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it
opened a malicious website.
Gustavo Grieco discovered an out-of-bounds read during XML parsing in
some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially
crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a
denial of service via application crash, or obtain sensitive information.
(CVE-2016-0718)
Toni Huttunen discovered that once a favicon is requested from a site,
the remote server can keep the network connection open even after the page
is closed. A remote attacked could potentially exploit this to track
users, resulting in information disclosure. (CVE-2016-2830)
