Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-443-1 (firefox)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to firefox
announced via advisory USN-443-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Details follow:

A flaw was discovered in how Firefox handled PASV FTP responses. If a
user were tricked into visiting a malicious FTP server, a remote
attacker could perform a port-scan of machines within the user's
network, leading to private information disclosure.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.10:
firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.11-0ubuntu0.5.10.1

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.11-0ubuntu0.6.06.1

Ubuntu 6.10:
firefox 2.0.0.3+0dfsg-0ubuntu0.6.10

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart Firefox or reboot
your computer to effect the necessary changes.
