Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2013-34) - Linux

Description:Summary:
This host is missing a security update for Mozilla Firefox.

Vulnerability Insight:
Privilege escalation through Mozilla Updater
Security researcher Ash reported an issue with the Mozilla
Updater. The Mozilla Updater can be made to load a malicious local DLL file in a
privileged context through either the Mozilla Maintenance Service or
independently on systems that do not use the service. This occurs when the DLL
file is placed in a specific location on the local system before the Mozilla
Updater is run. Local file system access is necessary in order for this issue to
be exploitable.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 20.

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

CVSS Score:
