Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2012-66) - 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:
HTTPMonitor extension allows for remote debugging without explicit activation
Mozilla security researcher Mark Goodwin discovered an issue
with the Firefox developer tools' debugger. If remote debugging is disabled, but
the experimental HTTPMonitor extension has been installed and enabled, a remote
user can connect to and use the remote debugging service through the port used
by HTTPMonitor. A remote-enabled flag has been added to resolve
this problem and close the port unless debugging is explicitly enabled.

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

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

CVSS Score:
7.6
