Title:Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2016-21) - 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:
Displayed page address can be overridden
Security researcher Abdulrahman Alqabandi reported an issue where an
attacker can load an arbitrary web page but the addressbar's displayed URL will be blank
or filled with page defined content. This can be used to obfuscate which page is currently
loaded and allows for an attacker to spoof an existing page without the malicious page's
address being displayed correctly.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 45.

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

CVSS Score:
4.3
