Description Andreas Stieger 2017-01-25 09:09:04 UTC

Security vulnerabilities fixed in Firefox 51
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2017-01/

Discovered by: Jerri Rice
Special about: pages used by web content, such as RSS feeds, can load privileged about: pages in an iframe. If a content-injection bug were found in one of those pages this could allow for potential privilege escalation.
