When the Mozilla Updater opens a MAR format file which contains a very long
item filename, an out-of-bounds write can be triggered, leading to a
potentially exploitable crash. This requires running the Mozilla Updater
manually on the local system with the malicious MAR file in order to occur.
This vulnerability affects Firefox < 62, Firefox ESR < 60.2, and
Thunderbird < 60.2.1.
