Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Firefox versions prior to 55
ALT Linux (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue affects Windows systems, where the logger run by the Windows updater deletes a file named "update.log" before running, based on the path supplied at the command line. This could potentially be exploited in conjunction with another local exploit to delete a different file with the same name. The attack is specific to Windows operating systems, with other operating systems not being affected.
Recommendations
For Firefox versions prior to 55, update to version 55 or later to resolve the issue.
For ALT Linux, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
