Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. Mozilla Firefox before 42.0, when NTLM v1 is enabled for HTTP authentication, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive hostname information by constructing a crafted web site that sends an NTLM request and reads the Workstation field of an NTLM type 3 message.
