Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2013-42) - Linux
Summary:This host is missing a security update for Mozilla Firefox.
Description:Summary:
This host is missing a security update for Mozilla Firefox.

write actions on objects when only read actions should be allowed. This can lead
to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 21.

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