Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.2.1.2012.55
Category:General
Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2012-55) - 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:
feed: URLs with an innerURI inherit security context of page
Security researchers Mario Gomes and Soroush
Dalili reported that since Mozilla allows the pseudo-protocol feed: to prefix any valid URL, it is possible to construct feed:javascript: URLs that will execute scripts in some contexts. On some sites it may be possible to use this to evade output filtering that would otherwise strip javascript: URLs and thus contribute to cross-site scripting (XSS) problems on these sites.

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

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

CVSS Score:
4.3

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