Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 57

Description The issue is related to the implementation of the SVG markup language in Mozilla Firefox, specifically concerning the lack of proper checking of <img> tags that can use <meta> tags within the SVG data to set cookies for a page. This can potentially allow a remote attacker to impact data integrity.

Recommendations For versions prior to 57, update to version 57 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of SVG images loaded through <img> tags until the update is applied.
