Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2012-05) - 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:
Frame scripts calling into untrusted objects bypass security checks
Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported that frame
scripts bypass XPConnect security checks when calling untrusted objects. This
allows for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks through web pages and Firefox
extensions. The fix enables the Script Security Manager (SSM) to force security
checks on all frame scripts.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 10.

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

CVSS Score:
4.3
