high Nessus Plugin ID 45403

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a web browser that is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The installed version of Firefox 3.6.x is earlier than 3.6.3. Such versions are potentially affected by a memory corruption flaw caused by the re-use of an object that has been freed when moving DOM nodes between documents.

A remote attacker, exploiting this flaw, can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on the remote host subject to the privileges of the user running the affected application.

Solution

Upgrade to Firefox 3.6.3 or later.
