An error occurs in the elliptic curve point addition algorithm that uses mixed Jacobian-affine coordinates where it can yield a result "POINT_AT_INFINITY" when it should not. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this to interfere with a connection, resulting in an attacked party computing an incorrect shared secret. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 55.

Summary: USN-3391-1 introduced a regression in Firefox.
USN-3391-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The update introduced a
performance regression with WebExtensions. 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 conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks,
bypass sandbox restrictions, obtain sensitive information, spoof the
origin of modal alerts, bypass same origin restrictions, read
uninitialized memory, cause a denial of service via program crash or hang,
or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7753, CVE-2017-7779, CVE-2017-7780,
