Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2013-87) - 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:
Shared object library loading from writable location
Mozilla developer Vladimir Vukicevic reported that Firefox
for Android will optionally load a shared object (.so) library in order to
enable GL tracing. When this is occurs, it can be from a world writable
location, allowing for it to be replaced by malicious third party applications
before it is loaded by Firefox. This would allow for accessing of all Firefox
data or for malicious code to be run by Firefox. This flaw requires malicious
software to be loaded on the device and is not accessible by web content.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 24.

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

CVSS Score:
6.8
