New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.
VPR Score: 6.7
Synopsis
The remote Windows host contains a web browser that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
The installed version of Firefox 3.5 is earlier than 3.5.2. Such versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :
- A SOCKS5 proxy that replies with a hostname containing more than 15 characters can corrupt the subsequent data stream. This can lead to a denial of service, though there is reportedly no memory corruption.
(MFSA 2009-38)
- The location bar and SSL indicators can be spoofed by calling window.open() on an invalid URL. A remote attacker could use this to perform a phishing attack.
(MFSA 2009-44)
- Unspecified JavaScript-related vulnerabilities can lead to memory corruption, and possibly arbitrary execution of code. (MFSA 2009-45, MFSA 2009-47)
- If an add-on has a 'Link:' HTTP header when it is installed, the window's global object receives an incorrect security wrapper, which could lead to arbitrary JavaScript being executed with chrome privileges. (MFSA 2009-46)
Solution
Upgrade to Firefox 3.5.2 or later.
