The remote host is missing an update to firefox
announced via advisory MDVSA-2012:031.
Security issues were identified and fixed in mozilla firefox:
Security researcher regenrecht reported via TippingPoint'
s Zero Day
Initiative that a flaw in the Mozilla SVG implementation could result
in an out-of-bounds memory access if SVG elements were removed during
a DOMAttrModified event handler (CVE-2011-3658).
Firefox prevents the dropping of javascript: links onto a frame
to prevent malicious sites from tricking users into performing
a cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks on themselves. Security
researcher Soroush Dalili reported a way to bypass this protection
(CVE-2012-0455).
Security researcher Atte Kettunen from OUSPG found two issues with
Firefox's handling of SVG using the Address Sanitizer tool. The first
issue, critically rated, is a use-after-free in SVG animation that
could potentially lead to arbitrary code execution. The second issue
is rated moderate and is an out of bounds read in SVG Filters. This
could potentially incorporate data from the user'
s memory, making it
accessible to the page content (CVE-2012-0456, CVE-2012-0457).
Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski reported that an attacker able
to convince a potential victim to set a new home page by dragging a
link to the home button can set that user's home page to a javascript:
URL. Once this is done the attacker's page can cause repeated crashes
of the browser, eventually getting the script URL loaded in the
privileged about:sessionrestore context (CVE-2012-0458).
Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory safety
bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based
products. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption
under certain circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort
at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code
(CVE-2012-0461, CVE-2012-0464).
The mozilla firefox packages has been upgraded to the latest respective
versions which is not affected by these security flaws.
Additionally the NSS and NSPR packages has been upgraded to the latest
versions. The SQLite packages has been upgraded to the 3.7.7.1 version.
Affected: Enterprise Server 5.0
Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
