The remote host is missing an update for the 'firefox' package(s) announced via the USN-3140-1 advisory. It was discovered that data: URLs can inherit the wrong origin after a HTTP redirect in some circumstances. An attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass same-origin restrictions. A use-after-free was discovered in SVG animations. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code
