high Nessus Plugin ID 42305
Synopsis
The remote Windows host contains a web browser that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The installed version of Firefox is earlier than 3.0.15. Such versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :- It may be possible for a malicious web page to steal form history. (MFSA 2009-52)
- By predicting the filename of an already downloaded file in the downloads directory, a local attacker may be able to trick the browser into opening an incorrect file. (MFSA 2009-53)
- Provided the browser is configured to use Proxy Auto-configuration it may be possible for an attacker to crash the browser or execute arbitrary code. (MFSA 2009-55)
- Mozilla's GIF image parser is affected by a heap-based buffer overflow. (MFSA 2009-56)
- A vulnerability in XPCOM utility 'XPCVariant::VariantDataToJS' could allow executing arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges. (MFSA 2009-57)
- A vulnerability in Mozilla's string to floating point number conversion routine could allow arbitrary code execution on the remote system. (MFSA 2009-59)
- It may be possible to read text from a web page using JavaScript function 'document.getSelection() from a different domain. (MFSA 2009-61)
- If a file contains right-to-left override character (RTL) in the filename it may be possible for an attacker to obfuscate the filename and extension of the file being downloaded. (MFSA 2009-62)
- Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities could potentially allow arbitrary code execution.
