Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2012-45) - 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:
Spoofing issue with location
Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski reported an issue with
spoofing of the location property. In this issue, calls to history.forward and
history.back are used to navigate to a site while displaying the previous site
in the addressbar but changing the baseURI to the newer site. This can be used
for phishing by allowing the user to input form or other data on the newer,
attacking, site while appearing to be on the older, displayed site.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 14.

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