Descriptions

The printing process can bypass local access protections to read files available through symlinks, bypassing local file restrictions. The printing process requires files in a specific format so arbitrary data cannot be read but it is possible that some local file information could be exposed. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.

El proceso de impresión puede omitir protecciones de acceso local para leer archivos disponibles mediante symlinks, omitiendo las restricciones de archivos locales. El proceso de impresión necesita los archivos en un formato específico para que los datos arbitrarios no se puedan leer, pero es posible que se exponga alguna información de los archivos locales. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a las versiones anteriores a la 58 de Firefox.
