Synopsis
The remote Windows host contains a web browser that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of Firefox ESR 31.x installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 31.4. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :- Multiple unspecified memory safety issues exist within the browser engine. (CVE-2014-8634, CVE-2014-8635)
- A flaw exists in 'navigator.sendBeacon()' in which it does not follow the cross-origin resource sharing specification. This results in requests from 'sendBeacon()' lacking an 'origin' header, which allows malicious sites to perform XSRF attacks. (CVE-2014-8638)
