Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser.

This update upgrades Firefox to version 45.5.1 ESR.

Security Fix(es):

  • A flaw was found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page
    containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially,
    execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox.
    (CVE-2016-9079)

Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting this issue.
