3. Description:

Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser.

This update upgrades Firefox to version 45.5.0 ESR.

Security Fix(es):

* Multiple flaws were 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-2016-5296, CVE-2016-5297, CVE-2016-9066, CVE-2016-5291,
CVE-2016-5290)

* A flaw was found in the way Add-on update process was handled by Firefox.
A Man-in-the-Middle attacker could use this flaw to install a malicious
signed add-on update. (CVE-2016-9064)

Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting these issues.
Upstream acknowledges Abhishek Arya, André Bargull, Samuel GroÃ\x{159}, Yuyang
