Original advisory details:

 Christian Holler, Terrence Cole, Jesse Ruderman, Gary Kwong, Eric
 Rescorla, Jonathan Kew, Dan Gohman, Ryan VanderMeulen, Carsten Book,
 Andrew Sutherland, Byron Campen, Nicholas Nethercote, Paul Adenot, David
 Baron, Julian Seward and Sotaro Ikeda discovered multiple memory safety
 issues 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 via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with
 the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2014-1477,
 CVE-2014-1478)

 Cody Crews discovered a method to bypass System Only Wrappers. An attacker
 could potentially exploit this to steal confidential data or execute code
 with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2014-1479)

 Jordi Chancel discovered that the downloads dialog did not implement a
 security timeout before button presses are processed. An attacker could
 potentially exploit this to conduct clickjacking attacks. (CVE-2014-1480)

 Fredrik Lonnqvist discovered a use-after-free in Firefox. An attacker
 could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via
 application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
 user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2014-1482)

 Jordan Milne discovered a timing flaw when using document.elementFromPoint
 and document.caretPositionFromPoint on cross-origin iframes. An attacker
 could potentially exploit this to steal confidential imformation.
 (CVE-2014-1483)

 Frederik Braun discovered that the CSP implementation in Firefox did not
 handle XSLT stylesheets in accordance with the specification, potentially
 resulting in unexpected script execution in some circumstances
 (CVE-2014-1485)

 Arthur Gerkis discovered a use-after-free in Firefox. An attacker could
 potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application
 crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking
 Firefox. (CVE-2014-1486)

 Masato Kinugawa discovered a cross-origin information leak in web worker
 error messages. An attacker could potentially exploit this to steal
 confidential information. (CVE-2014-1487)

 Yazan Tommalieh discovered that web pages could activate buttons on the
 default Firefox startpage (about:home) in some circumstances. An attacker
 could potentially exploit this to cause data loss by triggering a session
 restore. (CVE-2014-1489)

 Soeren Balko discovered a crash in Firefox when terminating web workers
 running asm.js code in some circumstances. An attacker could potentially
 exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
 invoking Firefox. (CVE-2014-1488)
