Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2014-26) - 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:
Information disclosure through polygon rendering in MathML
Security researcher Tyson Smith and Jesse
Schwartzentruber of the BlackBerry Security Automated Analysis Team
used the Address Sanitizer tool while fuzzing to discover an out-of-bounds read
during polygon rendering in MathML. This can allow web content to potentially
read protected memory addresses. In combination with previous techniques used
for SVG timing attacks, this could allow for text values to be read across
domains, leading to information disclosure.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 28.

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

CVSS Score:
6.4
