Title: | Mozilla Firefox Insecure Saving Of Downloadable File - Linux |
Summary: | Mozilla Firefox is saving downloadable files insecurely. |
Description: | Summary: Mozilla Firefox is saving downloadable files insecurely. Vulnerability Insight: This security issue is due to the browser using a fixed path from the /tmp directory when a user opens a file downloaded for opening from the 'Downloads' window. This can be exploited to trick a user into opening a file with potentially malicious content by placing it in the /tmp directory before the download takes place. Vulnerability Impact: Local attackers may leverage this issue by replacing an arbitrary downloaded file by placing a file in a /tmp location before the download occurs. Affected Software/OS: Mozilla Firefox version 2.x, 3.x. Solution: Update to version 3.6.3 or later. CVSS Score: 4.4 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
