Original advisory details:

 Gary Kwong, Christian Holler, Byron Campen, Tyson Smith, Bobby Holley,
 Chris Coulson, and Eric Rahm 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-2015-4473, CVE-2015-4474)

 Aki Helin discovered an out-of-bounds read when playing malformed MP3
 content in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a
 specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to
 obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service via application
 crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking
 Firefox. (CVE-2015-4475)

 A use-after-free was discovered during MediaStream playback in some
 circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted
 website, 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-2015-4477)

 Andre Bargull discovered that non-configurable properties on javascript
 objects could be redefined when parsing JSON. If a user were tricked in to
 opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit
 this to bypass same-origin restrictions. (CVE-2015-4478)

 Multiple integer overflows were discovered in libstagefright. 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-2015-4479, CVE-2015-4480, CVE-2015-4493)

 Jukka Jylanki discovered a crash that occurs because javascript does not
 properly gate access to Atomics or SharedArrayBuffers in some
 circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted
 website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of
 service. (CVE-2015-4484)

 Abhishek Arya discovered 2 buffer overflows in libvpx when decoding
 malformed WebM content in some circumstances. 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-2015-4485, CVE-2015-4486)

 Ronald Crane reported 3 security issues. If a user were tricked in to
 opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially
 exploit these, in combination with another security vulnerability, to
 cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary
 code with ... [Please see the references for more information on the vulnerabilities]");
