Category:Slackware Local Security Checks
Title:Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2007-200-01)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'firefox' package(s) announced via the SSA:2007-200-01 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'firefox' package(s) announced via the SSA:2007-200-01 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
New mozilla-firefox packages are available for Slackware 11.0 and 12.0
to fix security issues.

Note that Firefox 1.5.x has reached its EOL (end of life) and is no
longer being updated by mozilla.com. Users of Firefox 1.5.x are
encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 2.x. Since we use the official Firefox
binaries, these packages should work equally well on earlier Slackware
systems.
