Category:General
Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2016-75) - 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:
Integer overflow in WebSockets during data buffering
Security researcher Samuel Gross reported an integer overflow error in
WebSockets during data buffering on incoming packets when an allocated buffer is resized
incorrectly. This results in the buffer array holding the data being shrunk, instead of
grown, resulting in attacker controlled data being written at a known offset from the
newly allocated buffer. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.

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:
7.5

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
