==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

Summary:

Firefox could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it
opened a malicious website.

Software Description:
– firefox: Mozilla Open Source web browser

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 cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive
information across origins, bypass security restrictions, conduct phishing
attacks, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, bypass Content
Security Policy (CSP) restrictions, conduct DNS rebinding attacks, or
execute arbitrary code.

all the necessary changes.
