Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web
page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running Firefox. (CVE-2014-8634, CVE-2014-8639, CVE-2014-8641)
It was found that the Beacon interface implementation in Firefox did not
follow the Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) specification. A web page
containing malicious content could allow a remote attacker to conduct a
Cross-Site Request Forgery (XSRF) attack. (CVE-2014-8638)
This update also fixes the following bug:
* The default dictionary for Firefox's spell checker is now correctly set
to the system's locale language.
After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes
to take effect.
