Title:Mozilla Firefox Information Disclosure Vulnerability (Windows)
Summary:The host is installed with Mozilla Firefox and is prone to Information; Disclosure Vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
The host is installed with Mozilla Firefox and is prone to Information
Disclosure Vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
The flaws are due to:

- Error in 'Math.random' function in the JavaScript implementation which uses
a random number generator that is seeded only once per document object, which
makes it easier for remote attackers to track a user, or trick a user into
acting upon a spoofed pop-up message, by calculating the seed value.

- Error in 'js_InitRandom' function in the JavaScript implementation uses a
context pointer in conjunction with its successor pointer for seeding of a
random number generator, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess
the seed value via a brute-force attack.

Vulnerability Impact:
Successful exploitation will let attackers to bypass the same-origin policy
and obtain potentially sensitive information. Other attacks are possible.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version 3.5.10 through 3.5.11

Firefox version 3.6.4 through 3.6.8 and 4.0 Beta1

Solution:
Upgrade to Mozilla Firefox version 3.6.9 or later, 3.5.12 or later, 4.0 Beta-2 or later.
