Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.2.1.2016.54
Category:General
Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2016-54) - 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:
Partial same-origin-policy through setting location.host through data URI
Security researcher Armin Razmdjou reported that the
location.host property can be set to an arbitrary string after creating an
invalid data: URI. This allows for a bypass of some same-origin policy
protections. This issue is mitigated by the data: URI in use and any
same-origin checks for http: or https: are still enforced
correctly. As a result cookie stealing and other common same-origin bypass attacks are not
possible.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 47.

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
