Several 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-2014-1574, CVE-2014-1578, CVE-2014-1581,
CVE-2014-1576, CVE-2014-1577)

A flaw was found in the Alarm API, which allows applications to schedule
actions to be run in the future. A malicious web application could use
this flaw to bypass cross-origin restrictions. (CVE-2014-1583)

After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the
changes to take effect.
