NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox-esr package and not the firefox-esr package as distributed by Debian.

Mozilla Firefox before 49.0 does not properly restrict the scheme in favicon requests, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by a jar: URL for a favicon resource.
