Synopsis

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

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2012-857:04 advisory.

 Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser, designed for standards compliance, performance and portability.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2011-3101 Google Chrome before 19.0.1084.46 on Linux does not properly mitigate an unspecified flaw in an NVIDIA driver, which has unknown impact and attack vectors. NOTE: see CVE-2012-3105 for the related MFSA 2012-34 issue in Mozilla products.
 CVE-2012-1937 Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 12.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.5, Thunderbird 5.0 through 12.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.10 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.
 CVE-2012-1938 Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 13.0, Thunderbird before 13.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.10 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to (1) methodjit/ImmutableSync.cpp, (2) the JSObject::makeDenseArraySlow function in js/src/jsarray.cpp, and unknown other components.
 CVE-2012-1939 jsinfer.cpp in Mozilla Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.5 and Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.5 does not properly determine data types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted JavaScript code.
 CVE-2012-1940 Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsFrameList::FirstChild function in Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 12.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.5, Thunderbird 5.0 through 12.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption and application crash) by changing the size of a container of absolutely positioned elements in a column.
 CVE-2012-1941 Heap-based buffer overflow in the nsHTMLReflowState::CalculateHypotheticalBox function in Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 12.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.5, Thunderbird 5.0 through 12.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by resizing a window displaying absolutely positioned and relatively positioned elements in nested columns.
 CVE-2012-1944 The Content Security Policy (CSP) implementation in Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 12.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.5, Thunderbird 5.0 through 12.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.10 does not block inline event handlers, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted HTML document.
 CVE-2012-1945 Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 12.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.5, Thunderbird 5.0 through 12.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.10 allow local users to obtain sensitive information via an HTML document that loads a shortcut (aka .lnk) file for display within an IFRAME element, as demonstrated by a network share implemented by (1) Microsoft Windows or (2) Samba.
 CVE-2012-1946 Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsINode::ReplaceOrInsertBefore function in Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 12.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.5, Thunderbird 5.0 through 12.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.10 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via document changes involving replacement or insertion of a node.
 CVE-2012-1947 Heap-based buffer overflow in the utf16_to_isolatin1 function in Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 12.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.5, Thunderbird 5.0 through 12.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors that trigger a character-set conversion failure.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux 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 firefox and / or xulrunner packages.
