Title:	Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2016-17) - 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: Local file overwriting and potential privilege escalation through CSP reports Security researcher Nicolas Golubovic reported that a malicious page can overwrite files on the user's machine using Content Security Policy (CSP) violation reports. The file contents are restricted to the JSON format of the report. In many cases overwriting a local file may simply be destructive, breaking the functionality of that file. The CSP error reports can include HTML fragments which could be rendered by browsers. If a user has disabled add-on signing and has installed an 'unpacked' add-on, a malicious page could overwrite one of the add-on resources. Depending on how this resource is used, this could lead to privilege escalation. Affected Software/OS: Firefox version(s) below 45. Solution: The vendor has released an update. Please see the reference(s) for more information. CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
