openSUSE Security Update : MozillaFirefox (openSUSE-2015-263)

high Nessus Plugin ID 82247

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

MozillaFirefox was updated to Firefox 36.0.4 to fix two critical security issues found during Pwn2Own :

 - MFSA 2015-28/CVE-2015-0818 (bmo#1144988) Privilege escalation through SVG navigation

 - MFSA 2015-29/CVE-2015-0817 (bmo#1145255) Code execution through incorrect JavaScript bounds checking elimination

Als fixed were the following bugs :

 - Copy the icons to /usr/share/icons instead of symlinking them: in preparation for containerized apps (e.g.
 xdg-app) as well as AppStream metadata extraction, there are a couple locations that need to be real files for system integration (.desktop files, icons, mime-type info).

 - update to Firefox 36.0.1 Bugfixes :

 - Disable the usage of the ANY DNS query type (bmo#1093983)

 - Hello may become inactive until restart (bmo#1137469)

 - Print preferences may not be preserved (bmo#1136855)

 - Hello contact tabs may not be visible (bmo#1137141)

 - Accept hostnames that include an underscore character ('_') (bmo#1136616)

 - WebGL may use significant memory with Canvas2d (bmo#1137251)

 - Option -remote has been restored (bmo#1080319)

Solution

Update the affected MozillaFirefox packages.
