Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Firefox versions prior to 60

Description The issue is caused by incorrect boundary checking during number formatting in the XSLT implementation of the Firefox browser. This can lead to a buffer overflow and crash, potentially allowing a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations For versions prior to 60, update to version 60 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of XSLT transformations to minimize the risk of exploitation.
