Summary
The remote host is missing an update to mozilla-firefox announced via advisory DSA 1055-1. Martijn Wargers and Nick Mott described crashes of Mozilla due to the use of a deleted controller context. In theory this could be abused to execute malicious code. Since Mozilla and Firefox share the same codebase, Firefox may be vulnerable as well.
