The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.

The weakness exists due to an error when the RSS Feed preview about:feeds page is framed within another page. A remote attacker can use the RSS Feed preview about:feeds page in concert with scripted content for a clickjacking attack that confuses users into downloading and executing an executable file from a temporary directory.

Update to version 64.0.
