Security researcher Holger Fuhrmannek reported that when the
Mozilla updater is run, the updater can be manipulated to load the updated files from a
working directory under user control in concert with junctions. When the updates are run
by the Mozilla Maintenance Service on Windows, these malicious files can be run with
elevated privileges and be used to replace arbitrary files on the system. This could allow
for arbitrary code execution by a malicious user with local system access but does not
allow for exploitation by web content.");
