Title:	Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2015-148) - 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: Privilege escalation vulnerabilities in WebExtension APIs Mozilla developer Kris Maglione reported a mechanism where WebExtension APIs could be used to escalate privilege. This could allow arbitrary web content to execute code with the privileges of a particular WebExtension when using these API calls. Depending on the privileges of the extension used, this could result in personal information theft and cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, including theft of browser cookies. This is mitigated by the requirement to have a WebExtension installed that is vulnerable to this issue. Affected Software/OS: Firefox version(s) below 43. Solution: The vendor has released an update. Please see the reference(s) for more information. CVSS Score: 4.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N
