critical Nessus Plugin ID 70714

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a web browser that is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The installed version of Firefox ESR is earlier than 17.0.10, and is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- The implementation of Network Security Services (NSS) does not ensure that data structures are initialized, which could result in a denial of service or disclosure of sensitive information. (2013-1739)

- Memory issues exist in the browser engine that could result in a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-5590, CVE-2013-5591, CVE-2013-5592)

- Memory issues exist in the JavaScript engine that could result in a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-5595, CVE-2013-5602)

- Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities exist that could result in a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-5597, CVE-2013-5599, CVE-2013-5600, CVE-2013-5601)

- A stack-based buffer overflow in txXPathNodeUtils::getBaseURI is possible due to uninitialized data during XSLT processing.
(CVE-2013-5604)

Solution

Upgrade to Firefox ESR 17.0.10 or later.
