Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2011-40) - Linux

This host is missing a security update for Mozilla Firefox.

Code installation through holding down Enter Mariusz Mlynski reported that if you could convince a user to hold down the Enter key--as part of a game or test, perhaps--a malicious page could pop up a download dialog where the held key would then activate the default Open action. For some file types this would be merely annoying (the equivalent of a pop-up) but other file types have powerful scripting capabilities. And this would provide an avenue for an attacker to exploit a vulnerability in applications not normally exposed to potentially hostile internet content.

Firefox version(s) below 3.6.23 and below 7.

Checks if a vulnerable package version is present on the target host.

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