FreeBSD : Firefox -- memory corruption due to race condition (6529e5e7-36d5-11f0-8f57-b42e991fc52e)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 237209

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 6529e5e7-36d5-11f0-8f57-b42e991fc52e advisory.

 [email protected] reports:
 A race condition existed in nsHttpTransaction that could have been exploited to cause memory corruption, potentially leading to an exploitable condition.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
