Category:General
Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2016-28) - 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:
Addressbar spoofing though history navigation and Location protocol property
Security researcher Tsubasa Iinuma reported a mechanism where the
displayed addressbar can be spoofed to users. This issue involves using history navigation
in concert with the Location protocol property. After navigating from a malicious page to
another, if the user navigates back to the initial page, the displayed URL will not
reflect the reloaded page. This could be used to trick users into potentially treating the
page as a different and trusted site.

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:
4.3

CVSS Vector:
