Critical Nessus Plugin ID 21282

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A number of vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Mozilla Firefox browser that could allow a remote attacker to craft malicious web pages that could take advantage of these issues to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges, spoof content, and steal local files, cookies, or other information from web pages. As well, some of these vulnerabilities can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the browser.

As well, two crasher bugs have been fixed as well.

The updated packages have been patched to fix these problems.
