FreeBSD : Firefox -- Multiple vulnerabilities (9dac4f05-fc65-11f0-96db-b42e991fc52e)

high Nessus Plugin ID 297124

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 9dac4f05-fc65-11f0-96db-b42e991fc52e advisory.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2007302 reports:
Mitigation bypass in the Privacy: Anti-Tracking component.
Use-after-free in the Layout: Scrolling and Overflow component.

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.
