Category:General
Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2016-60) - 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:
Java applets bypass CSP protections
Mozilla engineer Matt Wobensmith reported that Content Security Policy
(CSP) does not block the loading of cross-domain Java applets when specified by policy.
This is because the Java applet is loaded by the Java plugin, which then mediates all
network requests without checking against CSP. This could allow a malicious site to
manipulate content through a Java applet to bypass CSP protections, allowing for possible
cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

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
