Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.55549
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:173 (mozilla-firefox)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to mozilla-firefox
announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:173.

New updates are available for Mozilla Firefox:

A regression in the LE2005 Firefox package caused problems with cursor
movement that has been fixed.

The run-mozilla.sh script, with debugging enabled, would allow local
users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on
temporary files (CVE-2005-2353).

nsScriptSecurityManager::GetBaseURIScheme didn't handle
jar:view-source:... correctly because the jar: and view-source: cases
didn't use recursion as they were supposed to. This was corrected in
Firefox 1.0.4 and only affects the LE2005 package.

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Affected versions: 10.2, 2006.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
