Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 44.0 on Android does not ensure that HTTPS is used for a lightweight-theme installation, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to replace a theme's images and colors by modifying the client-server data stream.

Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a 44.0 en Android no asegura que se utiliza HTTPS para una instalación lightweight-theme, lo que permite a atacantes man-in-the-middle reemplazar imágenes y colores de un tema modificando el flujo de datos cliente-servidor.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Firefox, Thunderbird, Network Security Services (NSS), and NetScape Portable Runtime (NSPR) with the worst of which may allow remote execution of arbitrary code. Versions less than 4.12 are affected.
