How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 firefox to version 47.0+build3-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Mozilla Firefox before 47.0 ignores Content Security Policy (CSP) directives for cross-domain Java applets, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted applet.
