Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.2.1.2012.69
Category:General
Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2012-69) - 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:
Incorrect site SSL certificate data display
Security researcher Mark Poticha reported an issue where
incorrect SSL certificate information can be displayed on the addressbar,
showing the SSL data for a previous site while another has been loaded. This is
caused by two onLocationChange events being fired out of the expected order,
leading to the displayed certificate data to not be updated. This can be used
for phishing attacks by allowing the user to input form or other data on a
newer, attacking, site while the credentials of an older site appear on the
addressbar.

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:
4.3

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
