==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

– Ubuntu 19.10
– Ubuntu 19.04

Summary:

Firefox could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it
opened a malicious website.

Software Description:
– firefox: Mozilla Open Source web browser

Details:

Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were
tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, bypass security
restrictions, bypass same-origin restrictions, conduct cross-site
scripting (XSS) attacks, bypass content security policy (CSP)
protections, or execute arbitrary code.

package versions:

Ubuntu 19.10:
