The remote host is missing an update to xulrunner-1.9
announced via advisory USN-745-1.
Details follow:
It was discovered that Firefox did not properly perform XUL garbage
collection. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a
remote attacker could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the user invoking the program. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and 8.10. (CVE-2009-1044)
A flaw was discovered in the way Firefox performed XSLT transformations.
If a user were tricked into opening a crafted XSL stylesheet, an attacker
could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2009-1169)
Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
