The remote host is missing an update for the 'firefox' package(s) announced via the USN-3991-1 advisory. Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox that could allow an attacker to cause denial of service, spoof the browser UI, obtain sensitive information, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, or execute arbitrary code. Additionally, certain key combinations could bypass addon installation prompt delays, history data could be exposed via drag and drop of hyperlinks to and from bookmarks, and a type confusion bug was discovered with object groups and UnboxedObjects

potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, spoof the browser

sensitive information, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, or

It was discovered that pressing certain key combinations could bypass
addon installation prompt delays. If a user opened a specially crafted
website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to trick them in to
installing a malicious extension. (CVE-2019-11697)

It was discovered that history data could be exposed via drag and drop
of hyperlinks to and from bookmarks. If a user were tricked in to dragging
a specially crafted hyperlink to the bookmark toolbar or sidebar, and
subsequently back in to the web content area, an attacker could
potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2019-11698)

A type confusion bug was discovered with object groups and UnboxedObjects.
If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website after
enabling the UnboxedObjects feature, an attacker could potentially
exploit this to bypass security checks. (CVE-2019-9816)");
