Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2015-49) - 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:
Referrer policy ignored when links opened by middle-click and context menu
Security researcher Alex Verstak reported that name='referrer'> is ignored when a link is opened through the
context menu or a middle-click by mouse. This means that, in some situations,
the referrer policy is ignored when opening links in new tabs and may cause
some pages to open without an HTTP Referer header being set according to
the author's intended policy.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 38.

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

CVSS Score:
