high Nessus Plugin ID 59404

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mac OS X host contains a web browser that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The installed version of Firefox is earlier than 10.0.5 and thus, is potentially affected by the following security issues :

- An error exists in the ASN.1 decoder when handling zero length items that can lead to application crashes.
(CVE-2012-0441)

- Multiple memory corruption errors exist. (CVE-2012-1937, CVE-2012-1939)

- Two heap-based buffer overflows and one heap-based use- after-free error exist and are potentially exploitable.
(CVE-2012-1940, CVE-2012-1941, CVE-2012-1947)

- The inline-script blocking feature of the 'Content Security Policy' (CSP) does not properly block inline event handlers. This error allows remote attackers to more easily carry out cross-site scripting attacks.
(CVE-2012-1944)

- A use-after-free error exists related to replacing or inserting a node into a web document. (CVE-2012-1946)

Solution

Upgrade to Firefox 10.0.5 ESR or later.
