[CRITICAL] Firefox regression
Title: Firefox regression
Summary: USN-3260-1 caused a regression in Firefox.
USN-3260-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The update caused the
date picker panel and form validation errors to close immediately on
opening. This update fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were
tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
potentially exploit these to read uninitialized memory, obtain sensitive
information, spoof the addressbar contents or other UI elements, escape
the sandbox to read local files, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS)
attacks, cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5429, CVE-2017-5430, CVE-2017-543
