Slackware 11.0 / 12.0 : firefox (SSA:2007-213-01)

high Nessus Plugin ID 25831

Synopsis

The remote Slackware host is missing a security update.

Description

New mozilla-firefox packages are available for Slackware 11.0 and 12.0 to fix security issues. Note that Firefox 1.5.x has reached its EOL (end of life) and is no longer being updated by mozilla.com. Users of Firefox 1.5.x are encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 2.x. Since we use the official Firefox binaries, these packages should work equally well on earlier Slackware systems.

Solution

Update the affected mozilla-firefox package.
