Original advisory details :

A sandbox escape was discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in
to installing a malicious language pack, an attacker could exploit
this to gain additional privileges. (CVE-2019-9811)

Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a
user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website,
an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a
denial of service, obtain sensitive information, bypass same
origin restrictions, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS)
attacks, conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks,
spoof origin attributes, spoof the addressbar contents,
bypass safebrowsing protections, or execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2019-11725, CVE-2019-11727, CVE-2019-11728,
CVE-2019-11729)

It was discovered that Firefox treats all files in a
directory as same origin. If a user were tricked in to
downloading a specially crafted HTML file, an attacker could
potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information
from local files. (CVE-2019-11730).

description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
