Synopsis: Important: firefox security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2015:1581-1
Issue Date: 2015-08-07
CVE Numbers: CVE-2015-4495
--

A flaw was discovered in Mozilla Firefox that could be used to violate the
same-origin policy and inject web script into a non-privileged part of the
built-in PDF file viewer (PDF.js). An attacker could create a malicious
web page that, when viewed by a victim, could steal arbitrary files
(including private SSH keys, the /etc/passwd file, and other potentially
sensitive files) from the system running Firefox. (CVE-2015-4495)

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