Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2020.0348
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2020-0348)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'firefox, firefox-l10n, nspr' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0348 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'firefox, firefox-l10n, nspr' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0348 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
By holding a reference to the eval() function from an about:blank window, a
malicious webpage could have gained access to the InstallTrigger object which
would allow them to prompt the user to install an extension. Combined with user
confusion, this could result in an unintended or malicious extension being
installed (CVE-2020-15664).

When aborting an operation, such as a fetch, an abort signal may be deleted
while alerting the objects to be notified. This results in a use-after-free and
we presume that with enough effort it could have been exploited to run
arbitrary code (CVE-2020-15669).

Affected Software/OS:
'firefox, firefox-l10n, nspr' package(s) on Mageia 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
