Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2015-42) - Linux

This host is missing a security update for Mozilla Firefox.

Windows can retain access to privileged content on navigation to unprivileged pages Mozilla developer Bobby Holley reported that windows created to hold privileged UI content retained access to privileged internal methods if later navigated to unprivileged content. If a separate flaw was found that allowed for web content to reference these privileged windows, an attacker could use this reference to navigate them to their own content allowing for an escalation of privilege and arbitrary code execution. On its own, this flaw does not allow for privilege escalation by web content.

Firefox version(s) below 37.

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.
