The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200608-03 (Mozilla Firefox: Multiple vulnerabilities)

The following vulnerabilities have been reported:
Benjamin Smedberg discovered that chrome URL's could be made to     reference remote files.
Developers in the Mozilla community     looked for and fixed several crash bugs to improve the stability of     Mozilla clients.
'shutdown' reports that cross-site scripting     (XSS) attacks could be performed using the construct     XPCNativeWrapper(window).Function(...), which created a function that     appeared to belong to the window in question even after it had been     navigated to the target site.
'shutdown' reports that scripts     granting the UniversalBrowserRead privilege can leverage that into the     equivalent of the far more powerful UniversalXPConnect since they are     allowed to 'read' into a privileged context.
'moz_bug_r_a4'     reports that A malicious Proxy AutoConfig (PAC) server could serve a     PAC script that can execute code with elevated privileges by setting     the required FindProxyForURL function to the eval method on a     privileged object that leaked into the PAC sandbox.
'moz_bug_r_a4' discovered that Named JavaScript functions have a     parent object created using the standard Object() constructor     (ECMA-specified behavior) and that this constructor can be redefined by     script (also ECMA-specified behavior).
Igor Bukanov and     shutdown found additional places where an untimely garbage collection     could delete a temporary object that was in active use.
Georgi     Guninski found potential integer overflow issues with long strings in     the toSource() methods of the Object, Array and String objects as well     as string function arguments.
H. D. Moore reported a testcase     that was able to trigger a race condition where JavaScript garbage     collection deleted a temporary variable still being used in the     creation of a new Function object.
A malicious page can hijack     native DOM methods on a document object in another domain, which will     run the attacker's script when called by the victim page.
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability which is caused due     to an memory corruption error within the handling of simultaneously     happening XPCOM events. This leads to use of a deleted timer     object.
An anonymous researcher for TippingPoint and the Zero     Day Initiative showed that when used in a web page Java would reference     properties of the window.navigator object as it started up.
Thilo Girmann discovered that in certain circumstances a JavaScript     reference to a frame or window was not properly cleared when the     referenced content went away.

Impact :

A user can be enticed to open specially crafted URLs, visit webpages     containing malicious JavaScript or execute a specially crafted script.
These events could lead to the execution of arbitrary code, or the     installation of malware on the user's computer.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
