Category:General
Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2015-12) - 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:
Invoking Mozilla updater will load locally stored DLL files
Security researcher Holger Fuhrmannek reported that when the
Mozilla updater is run directly, the updater will load binary DLL format files
from the local working directory or from the Windows temporary directories. This
occurs when it is run without the Mozilla Maintenance Service on Windows
systems. This allowed for possibly malicious DLL files to execute with elevated
privileges if a user agrees when a User Account Control (UAC) prompt from
Windows is displayed.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 36.

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

CVSS Score:
6.9

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