critical Nessus Plugin ID 288893

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2018-3370:06 advisory.

 * Mozilla: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 62 and Firefox ESR 60.2 (CVE-2018-12376)
 * Mozilla: Use-after-free in driver timers (CVE-2018-12377)
 * Mozilla: Use-after-free in IndexedDB (CVE-2018-12378)
 * Mozilla: Proxy bypass using automount and autofs (CVE-2017-16541)
 * Mozilla: Out-of-bounds write with malicious MAR file (CVE-2018-12379)
 * Mozilla: Crash in TransportSecurityInfo due to cached data (CVE-2018-12385)
 * Mozilla: Setting a master password post-Firefox 58 does not delete unencrypted previously stored passwords (CVE-2018-12383) Note: All of the above issues cannot be exploited in Thunderbird by a specially crafted HTML mail, as JavaScript is disabled for mail messages and cannot be enabled. They could be exploited another way in Thunderbird, for example, when viewing the remote content of an RSS feed.

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.
