Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Update to new upstream Firefox version 3.6.18 and Thunderbird version 3.1.11, fixing multiple security issues detailed in the upstream advisories :

- http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/fi refox36.html#firefox3.6.18

- http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/ thunderbird31.html#thunderbird3.1.11

This update also includes all packages depending on gecko-libs rebuilt against the new version of Firefox / XULRunner.

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.
