Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.2.1.2012.76
Category:General
Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2012-76) - 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:
Continued access to initial origin after setting document.domain
Security researcher Collin Jackson reported a violation of
the HTML5 specifications for document.domain behavior. Specified
behavior requires pages to only have access to windows in a new
document.domain but the observed violation allowed pages to retain
access to windows from the page's initial origin in addition to the new
document.domain. This could potentially lead to cross-site
scripting (XSS) attacks.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 16.

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
