 - A flaw exists in 'toolkit/mozapps/update/updater/updater.cpp' that is due to the 'Updater', when opened using the callback application path parameter, creating a copy of a user specified file as a callback file with a locked hardlink. This may allow a local attacker to run the target file and gain elevated privileges.
 - An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered during the handling of TTC detection. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to have an unspecified impact. No further details have been provided.

The version of Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 48. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An overflow condition exists in the expat XML parser due     to improper validation of user-supplied input when     handling malformed input documents. An attacker can     exploit this to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a     denial of service condition or the execution of     arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0718)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to a     failure to close connections after requesting favicons.
    An attacker can exploit this to continue to send     requests to the user's browser and disclose sensitive     information.(CVE-2016-2830)

  - Multiple memory corruption issues exist due to improper     validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can     exploit these issues to cause a denial of service     condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
