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-2015-0813, CVE-2015-0815, CVE-2015-0801)

A flaw was found in the way documents were loaded via resource URLs in,
for example, Mozilla's PDF.js PDF file viewer. An attacker could use this
flaw to bypass certain restrictions and under certain conditions even
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox.
(CVE-2015-0816)

A flaw was found in the Beacon interface implementation in Firefox. A web
page containing malicious content could allow a remote attacker to conduct
a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack. (CVE-2015-0807)

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