Ubuntu 6.06 LTS : firefox regression (USN-327-2)

high Nessus Plugin ID 27906

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

USN-327-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Firefox. Unfortunately the new version introduced a regression in the handling of streamed media.
Embedded media which were linked with a scheme other than http:// did not work any more. This update fixes this regression.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
