How to fix?

Upgrade mozilla to version 37.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. The HTMLSourceElement::BindToTree function in Mozilla Firefox before 37.0 does not properly constrain a data type after omitting namespace validation during certain tree-binding operations, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted HTML document containing a SOURCE element.
