Category:General
Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2015-127) - 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:
CORS preflight is bypassed when non-standard Content-Type headers are received
Security researcher Shinto K Anto reported an issue with cross-origin
resource sharing (CORS) 'preflight' requests when receiving certain
Content-Type headers. This is due to an error in implementation resulting in
trying to process multiple media types when they are returned in the
Content-Type headers from a server. This is disallowed in the CORS specification and results in a simple instead of a
'preflight' request, leading to potential same-origin policy violation.

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:
7.5
