Two 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-2015-0817, CVE-2015-0818)

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