The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple security issues have been found in the Mozilla Firefox web browser, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code, privilege escalation or information disclosure.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 60.3.0esr-1~deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your firefox-esr packages.
