| Description: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'Mozilla Firefox' package(s) announced via the SUSE-SU-2012:1167-1 advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
MozillaFirefox was updated to 10.0.7ESR release, fixing a lot of bugs and security problems.
The following security issues have been addressed:
*
MFSA 2012-57: 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.
In general these flaws cannot be exploited through email in the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products because scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in browser or browser-like contexts in those products.
*
CVE-2012-1971: Gary Kwong, Christian Holler, Jesse Ruderman, Steve Fink, Bob Clary, Andrew Sutherland, and Jason Smith reported memory safety problems and crashes that affect Firefox 14.
*
CVE-2012-1970: Gary Kwong, Christian Holler, Jesse Ruderman, John Schoenick, Vladimir Vukicevic and Daniel Holbert reported memory safety problems and crashes that affect Firefox ESR 10 and Firefox 14.
