NVD Description

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

On Linux systems, if the content process is compromised, the sandbox broker will allow files to be truncated even though the sandbox explicitly only has read access to the local file system and no write permissions. Note: This attack only affects the Linux operating system. Other operating systems are not affected. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 55.
