Category:General
Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2012-29) - 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 through ISO-2022-KR/ISO-2022-CN decoding issues
Security researcher Masato Kinugawa found that during the
decoding of ISO-2022-KR and ISO-2022-CN character sets, characters near 1024
bytes are treated incorrectly, either doubling or deleting bytes. On certain
pages it might be possible for an attacker to pad the output of the page such
that these errors fall in the right place to affect the structure of the page,
allowing for cross-site script (XSS) injection.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 12.

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
