CVE-2020-6797 Description

By downloading a file with the .fileloc extension, a semi-privileged extension could launch an arbitrary application on the user\'s computer. The attacker is restricted as they are unable to download non-quarantined files or supply command line arguments to the application, limiting the impact. Note: this issue only occurs on Mac OSX. Other operating systems are unaffected. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.5, Firefox < 73, and Firefox < ESR68.5.
