Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.72561
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2012:170 (firefox)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to firefox
announced via advisory MDVSA-2012:170.

Multiple security issue were identified and fixed in mozilla firefox:

Mozilla Firefox before 16.0.2, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.10,
Thunderbird before 16.0.2, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.10, and
SeaMonkey before 2.13.2 do not prevent use of the valueOf method to
shadow the location object (aka window.location), which makes it
easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS)
attacks via vectors involving a plugin (CVE-2012-4194).

The nsLocation::CheckURL function in Mozilla Firefox before 16.0.2,
Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.10, Thunderbird before 16.0.2, Thunderbird
ESR 10.x before 10.0.10, and SeaMonkey before 2.13.2 does not properly
determine the calling document and principal in its return value, which
makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting
(XSS) attacks via a crafted web site, and makes it easier for remote
attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code by leveraging certain
add-on behavior (CVE-2012-4195).

Mozilla Firefox before 16.0.2, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.10,
Thunderbird before 16.0.2, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.10,
and SeaMonkey before 2.13.2 allow remote attackers to bypass the
Same Origin Policy and read the Location object via a prototype
property-injection attack that defeats certain protection mechanisms
for this object (CVE-2012-4196).

The mozilla firefox packages has been upgraded to the latest version
which is unaffected by these security flaws.

Affected: Enterprise Server 5.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
