Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-3477-2)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'firefox' package(s) announced via the USN-3477-2 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'firefox' package(s) announced via the USN-3477-2 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
USN-3477-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The update caused search
suggestions to not be displayed when performing Google searches from the
search bar. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were
tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, read uninitialized
memory, obtain sensitive information, bypass same-origin restrictions,
bypass CSP protections, bypass mixed content blocking, spoof the
addressbar, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7826, CVE-2017-7827,
CVE-2017-7828, CVE-2017-7830, CVE-2017-7831, CVE-2017-7832, CVE-2017-7833,
CVE-2017-7834, CVE-2017-7835, CVE-2017-7837, CVE-2017-7838, CVE-2017-7842)

It was discovered that javascript: URLs pasted in to the addressbar
would be executed instead of being blocked in some circumstances. If a
user were tricked in to copying a specially crafted URL in to the
addressbar, an attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct
cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2017-7839)

It was discovered that exported bookmarks do not strip script elements
from user-supplied tags. If a user were tricked in to adding specially
crafted tags to bookmarks, exporting them and then opening the resulting
HTML file, an attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct
cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2017-7840)

Affected Software/OS:
'firefox' package(s) on Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 17.04, Ubuntu 17.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
