Title:	Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2013-106) - 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: Character encoding cross-origin XSS attack Security researcher Masato Kinugawa discovered that if a web page is missing character set encoding information it can inherit character encodings across navigations into another domain from an earlier site. Only same-origin inheritance is allowed according to the HTML5 specification. This issue allows an attacker to add content that will be interpreted one way on the victim site, but which may then behave differently, evading cross-site scripting (XSS) filtering, when forced into an unexpected character set. Web site authors should always explicitly declare a character encoding to avoid similar issues. Affected Software/OS: Firefox version(s) below 26. 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
