Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.66699
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2010:000 (firefox)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to firefox
announced via advisory MDVSA-2010:000.

Security issues were identified and fixed in firefox 3.5.x:

The nsObserverList::FillObserverArray function in
xpcom/ds/nsObserverList.cpp in Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.7 allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash)
via a crafted web site that triggers memory consumption and an
accompanying Low Memory alert dialog, and also triggers attempted
removal of an observer from an empty observers array (CVE-2010-0220).

Additionally, some packages which require so, have been rebuilt and
are being provided as updates.

Affected: 2010.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
