Comment (by ken@…):
To confirm the security fixes: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-
US/security/advisories/mfsa2019-33/]
At least one issue is critical: Mozilla developers and community members
Bob Clary, Jason Kratzer, Aaron Klotz, Iain Ireland, Tyson Smith,
Christian Holler, Steve Fink, Honza Bambas, Byron Campen, and Cristian
Brindusan reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 69 and Firefox
ESR 68.1. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we
presume that with enough effort some of these could be exploited to run
arbitrary code.
Therefore, people should either follow the book and upgrade to 68.2.0, or
upgrade to 70.0 (some details of dependencies are in the wiki).
