Category:General
Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2015-44) - 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:
Certificate verification bypass through the HTTP/2 Alt-Svc header
Security researcher Muneaki Nishimura discovered a flaw in
the Mozilla's HTTP
Alternative Services implementation. If an Alt-Svc header is
specified in the HTTP/2 response, SSL certificate verification can be bypassed
for the specified alternate server. As a result of this, warnings of invalid SSL
certificates will not be displayed and an attacker could potentially impersonate
another site through a man-in-the-middle (MTIM), replacing the original
certificate with their own.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 37.0.1.

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
