Title:	Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2016-63) - 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: Favicon network connection can persist when page is closed Security researcher Toni Huttunen reported that once the favicon is requested from a site, the remote server can keep the favicon network connection open even when the page is later closed. This allows a malicious site to continue to use this channel to send requests to the browser, leading to potential information disclosure, such as tracking the user across multiple IP addresses as the user changes networks. Affected Software/OS: Firefox version(s) below 48. 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:P/I:N/A:N
