high Nessus Plugin ID 50378

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Morten Krakvik discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in Firefox. If a user were tricked into navigating to a malicious site, an attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
