Summary:This host is missing a security update for Mozilla Firefox.
Description:Summary:
This host is missing a security update for Mozilla Firefox.

Vulnerability Insight:
loadSubScript unwraps XPCNativeWrapper scope parameter
David Rees reported that the JSSubScriptLoader (a
feature used by some add-ons) was 'unwrapping' XPCNativeWrappers when they
were used as the scope parameter to loadSubScript(). Without
the protection of the wrappers the add-on could be vulnerable to privilege
escalation attacks from malicious web content. Whether any given add-on
were vulnerable would depend on how the add-on used the feature
and whether it interacted directly with web content, but we did find
at least one vulnerable add-on and presume there are more.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 7.

Solution:
The vendor has released an update. Please see the reference(s) for more information.

CVSS Score:
4.3

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
