Previous versions of the Firefox package were vulnerable to an information disclosure issue. Firefox's handling of PASV FTP connections could allow a specially crafted server to perform rudimentary port scanning on the client machine, giving the FTP server information about the client's system. In and of itself, this is not going to cause a remote code exploit, but could aid a malicious individual in other attacks.
