The Firefox installer on Windows can be made to load malicious DLL files
stored in the same directory as the installer when it is run. This allows
privileged execution if the installer is run with elevated privileges.
Note: This attack only affects Windows operating systems. Other operating
systems are unaffected. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 54, Firefox
ESR < 52.2, and Thunderbird < 52.2.
