Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'firefox' package(s) announced via the USN-5131-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were
tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, bypass security
restrictions, spoof the browser UI, confuse the user, conduct phishing
attacks, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-38503, CVE-2021-38504,
CVE-2021-38506, CVE-2021-38507, CVE-2021-38508, CVE-2021-38509)

It was discovered that the 'Copy Image Link' context menu action
would copy the final image URL after redirects. If a user were tricked
into copying and pasting a link for an embedded image that triggered
authentication flows back to the page, an attacker could potentially
exploit this to steal authentication tokens.

Affected Software/OS:
'firefox' package(s) on Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 21.04, Ubuntu 21.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
