Category:General
Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2012-06) - 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:
Uninitialized memory appended when encoding icon images may cause information disclosure
Mozilla developer Tim Abraldes reported that when encoding
images as image/vnd.microsoft.icon the resulting data was always a
fixed size, with uninitialized memory appended as padding beyond the size of the
actual image. This is the result of mImageBufferSize in the encoder being
initialized with a value different than the size of the source image. There is
the possibility of sensitive data from uninitialized memory being appended to a
PNG image when converted from an ICO format image. This sensitive data may then
be disclosed in the resulting image.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 10.

Solution:
The vendor has released an update. Please see the reference(s) for more information.

CVSS Score:
5.0
