Description

The Gecko Media Plugin sandbox allows access to local files that match specific regular expressions.

This has been updated to not allow access to "/private/var" and its subdirectories. Note: this issue only affects OS X. Other operating systems are not affected. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 52 and Thunderbird < 52.
