MiracleLinux 3 : firefox-3.6.24-3.0.1.AXS3, xulrunner-1.9.2.24-2.0.1.AXS3 (AXSA:2011-389:08)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 284362

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2011-389:08 advisory.

Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser, designed for standards compliance, performance and portability.
XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for Gecko applications.
Security issues fixed with this release:
CVE-2011-3647 The JSSubScriptLoader in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.24 and Thunderbird before 3.1.6 does not properly handle XPCNativeWrappers during calls to the loadSubScript method in an add-on, which makes it easier for remote attackers to gain privileges via a crafted web site that leverages certain unwrapping behavior, a related issue to CVE-2011-3004.
CVE-2011-3648 Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.24 and 4.x through 7.0 and Thunderbird before 3.1.6 and 5.0 through 7.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted text with Shift JIS encoding.
CVE-2011-3650 Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.24 and 4.x through 7.0 and Thunderbird before 3.1.6 and 5.0 through 7.0 do not properly handle JavaScript files that contain many functions, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file that is accessed by debugging APIs, as demonstrated by Firebug.

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.
