Category:General
Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2015-118) - 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:
CSP bypass due to permissive Reader mode whitelist
Security researcher Mario Heiderich reported an issue where the
security protections of Reader mode in Firefox can be bypassed, allowing scripts to be
run. Mozilla developer Frederik Braun independently discovered and
reported this same issue as well. This issue happens even though Reader View explicitly
disables script for rendered pages through a whitelist of allowed HTML content. Mario
discovered that the whitelist was too permissive and a malicious site could manipulate
content to bypass CSP protections, allowing for possible cross-site scripting (XSS)
attacks.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 42.

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

CVSS Score:
4.3

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
