Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59929
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-546-2 (firefox)
Summary:	Ubuntu USN-546-2 (firefox)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to firefox announced via advisory USN-546-2. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.10 Ubuntu 7.04 Ubuntu 7.10 This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. USN-546-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The upstream update included a faulty patch which caused the drawImage method of the canvas element to fail. This update fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory details: It was discovered that Firefox incorrectly associated redirected sites as the origin of jar: contents. A malicious web site could exploit this to modify or steal confidential data (such as passwords) from other web sites. (CVE-2007-5947) Various flaws were discovered in the layout and JavaScript engines. By tricking a user into opening a malicious web page, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. (CVE-2007-5959) Gregory Fleischer discovered that it was possible to use JavaScript to manipulate Firefox's Referer header. A malicious web site could exploit this to conduct cross-site request forgeries against sites that relied only on Referer headers for protection from such attacks. (CVE-2007-5960) Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.10: firefox 2.0.0.11+0nobinonly-0ubuntu0.6.10 Ubuntu 7.04: firefox 2.0.0.11+1nobinonly-0ubuntu0.7.4 Ubuntu 7.10: firefox 2.0.0.11+2nobinonly-0ubuntu0.7.10 After a standard system upgrade you need to restart Firefox to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-546-2 Risk factor : Critical
