Summary

Multiple security issues have been found in the Mozilla Firefox web
browser, which could potentially result in the execution of arbitrary
code or a timing attack on cryptographic keys.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
68.9.0esr-1~deb8u2.

NOTE: 68.9.0esr-1~deb8u2 fixes an i386 build error in the otherwise
identical 68.9.0esr-1~deb8u1 that was uploaded but not announced.

We recommend that you upgrade your firefox-esr packages.
