The version of Mozilla Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 54. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted     website. (CVE-2017-5470, CVE-2017-5471)

  - A use-after-free error exists in the EndUpdate()     function in nsCSSFrameConstructor.cpp that is triggered     when reconstructing trees during regeneration of CSS     layouts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted     website, to cause a denial of service condition or the     execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5472)

  - A use-after-free error exists in the Reload() function     in nsDocShell.cpp that is triggered when using an     incorrect URL during the reload of a docshell. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service condition or the execution of     arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7749)

  - A use-after-free error exists in the Hide() function in     nsDocumentViewer.cpp that is triggered when handling     track elements. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or     the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7750)

  - A use-after-free error exists in the nsDocumentViewer     class in nsDocumentViewer.cpp that is triggered when     handling content viewer listeners. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of     service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.

    (CVE-2017-7754)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists due to     improper loading of dynamic-link library (DLL) files. A     local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted     DLL file in the installation path, to inject and execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7755)

  - A use-after-free error exists in the SetRequestHead()     function in XMLHttpRequestMainThread.cpp that is     triggered when logging XML HTTP Requests (XHR).

An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-7758)

  - A flaw exists in the NS_main() function in updater.cpp     due to improper validation of input when handling     callback file path parameters. A local attacker can     exploit this to manipulate files in the installation     directory. (CVE-2017-7760)

  - A flaw exists in the Maintenance Service helper.exe     application that is triggered as permissions for a     temporary directory are set to writable by     non-privileged users. A local attacker can exploit this     to delete arbitrary files on the system. (CVE-2017-7761)

  - A flaw exists that is triggered when displaying URLs     including authentication sections in reader mode. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted URL, to spoof domains in the address     bar. (CVE-2017-7762)

  - A flaw exists in the ReadCMAP() function in     gfxMacPlatformFontList.mm that is triggered when     handling tibetan characters in combination with macOS     fonts.

  - A flaw exists in the isLabelSafe() function in     nsIDNService.cpp that is triggered when handling     characters from different unicode blocks. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted IDN domain, to spoof a valid URL and     conduct phishing attacks. (CVE-2017-7764)

  - Multiple integer overflow conditions exist in the     Graphite component in the decompress() function in     Decompressor.cpp due to improper validation of     user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition     or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7772,     CVE-2017-7778)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the Graphite     component in the readGraphite() function in Silf.cpp. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service condition or disclose memory     contents. (CVE-2017-7774)

  - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the Graphite     component in getClassGlyph() function in Silf.cpp due to     improper validation of user-supplied input. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-7776)

  - A flaw exists in the Graphite component in the     read_glyph() function in GlyphCache.cpp related to use     of uninitialized memory. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact.
