Synopsis
The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.Description
Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser. A flaw was found in the processing of malformed JavaScript content. A web page containing such malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2008-1380) All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches that correct these issues.Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
Solution
Update the affected packages.See Also
