Title:	Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2011-47) - Linux
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: Potential XSS against sites using Shift-JIS Yosuke Hasegawa reported that the Mozilla browser engine mishandled invalid sequences in the Shift-JIS encoding. When encountering an invalid pair Mozilla would turn the entire two-byte sequence into a single unknown character rather than an unknown character followed by a valid single-byte character. On some sites attackers may have been able to end their input with the first byte of a two byte sequence, when that input was later put into a page context it might cause the following delimiter (such as a double-quote) to be consumed, breaking the format of the page. Depending on the page this could potentially be used to steal data or inject script into the page. Affected Software/OS: Firefox version(s) below 3.6.24 and below 8. 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
