Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2012-61) - 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:
Memory corruption with bitmap format images with negative height
Security researcher Frederic Hoguin reported two related
issues with the decoding of bitmap (.BMP) format images embedded in icon (.ICO)
format files. When processing a negative 'height' header value for the bitmap
image, a memory corruption can be induced, allowing an attacker to write random
memory and cause a crash. This crash may be potentially exploitable.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 15.

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