high Nessus Plugin ID 58005

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a web browser that is potentially affected by an integer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The installed version of Firefox 10.x is earlier than 10.0.2 and is, therefore, potentially affected by an integer overflow vulnerability.

An integer overflow error exists in 'libpng', a library used by this application. When decompressing certain PNG image files, this error can allow a heap-based buffer overflow which can crash the application or potentially allow code execution.

Solution

Upgrade to Firefox 10.0.2 or later.
