Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2013-51) - 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:
Privileged content access and execution via XBL
Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski reported that it is
possible to compile a user-defined function in the XBL scope of a specific
element and then trigger an event within this scope to run code. In some
circumstances, when this code is run, it can access content protected by System
Only Wrappers (SOW) and chrome-privileged pages. This could potentially lead to
arbitrary code execution. Additionally, Chrome Object Wrappers (COW) can be
bypassed by web content to access privileged methods, leading to a cross-site
scripting (XSS) attack from privileged pages.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 22.

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

CVSS Score:
9.3
