Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.2.1.2015.129
Category:General
Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2015-129) - 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:
Certain escaped characters in host of Location-header are being treated as non-escaped
Security researcher Frans Rosen reported that URLs with certain
escaped characters in hostnames are parsed incorrectly. This leads to parsing being
abandoned when an effected escaped character is encountered followed by a navigation to
the previously parsed version of the URL. When combined with a site allowing for
navigation redirection that allows for escaped characters, this could lead to potential
extraction of site specific tokens.

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:
5.0

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