The remote host is missing an update to xulrunner
announced via advisory FEDORA-2008-6518.
XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for Gecko applications.
Update Information:
Updated firefox packages that fix several security issues are now available for
Fedora 9. An integer overflow flaw was found in the way Firefox displayed
certain web content. A malicious web site could cause Firefox to crash, or
execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Firefox.
(CVE-2008-2785) A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled certain command
line URLs. If another application passed Firefox a malformed URL, it could
result in Firefox executing local malicious content with chrome privileges.
(CVE-2008-2933) Updated packages update Mozilla Firefox to upstream version
3.0.1 to address these flaws: http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-
vulnerabilities/firefox30.html#firefox3.0.1 This update also contains
devhelp, epiphany, epiphany-extensions, and yelp packages rebuilt against new
Firefox / Gecko libraries.
