high Nessus Plugin ID 28197
Synopsis
The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.Description
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200711-14 (Mozilla Firefox, SeaMonkey, XULRunner: Multiple vulnerabilities)Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Firefox and SeaMonkey. Various errors in the browser engine and the JavaScript engine can be exploited to cause a memory corruption (CVE-2007-5339 and CVE-2007-5340). Before being used in a request, input passed to the user ID when making an HTTP request with digest authentication is not properly sanitised (CVE-2007-2292). The titlebar can be hidden by a XUL markup language document (CVE-2007-5334). Additionally, an error exists in the handling of 'smb:' and 'sftp:' URI schemes on systems with gnome-vfs support (CVE-2007-5337). An unspecified error in the handling of 'XPCNativeWrappers' and not properly implementing JavaScript onUnload() handlers may allow the execution of arbitrary JavaScript code (CVE-2007-5338 and CVE-2007-1095). Another error is triggered by using the addMicrosummaryGenerator sidebar method to access file: URIs (CVE-2007-5335).
