Synopsis

The remote host is missing a vendor-supplied security patch

Description

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2005:028 (Mozilla. Mozilla Firefox).

This security update contains those security fixes. The Firefox packages have been directly upgraded to the version 1.0.3, for the Mozilla Suite packages the fixes up to version 1.7.7 have been back ported.

Updates are currently provided for:

Mozilla Firefox: SUSE Linux 9.0 up to 9.3, Novell Linux Desktop 9 Mozilla Suite: SUSE Linux 9.2 and 9.3

Fixes of the Mozilla Suite for older products (SUSE Linux 8.2 - 9.1, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 and 9, SUSE Linux Desktop 1.0) are being worked on.
