high Log Correlation Engine Plugin ID 800762

Synopsis

The remote host has a web browser installed that is vulnerable to a remote code execution attack.

Description

The remote host is running a version of Mozilla Firefox 3.6.x earlier than 3.6.3. Such versions are potentially affected by a memory corruption flaw caused by the re-use of a freed object when moving DOM nodes between documents.
