FreeBSD : firefox -- multiple vulnerabilities (9bad6f79-58cf-11f0-b4ad-b42e991fc52e)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 241423

Language:

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 multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 9bad6f79-58cf-11f0-b4ad-b42e991fc52e advisory.

[email protected] reports:
Firefox could have incorrectly parsed a URL and rewritten it to the youtube.com domain when parsing the URL specified in an `embed` tag. This could have bypassed website security checks that restricted which domains users were allowed to embed.
When a file download is specified via the `Content-Disposition` header, that directive would be ignored if the file was included via a `<embed>` or `<object>` tag, potentially making a website vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
