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: 8.8
Synopsis
The remote Mac OS X host contains a web browser that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
The installed version of Firefox is earlier than 10.0.4 and thus, is potentially affected by the following security issues :
- An off-by-one error exists in the 'OpenType Sanitizer' which can lead to out-bounds-reads and possible code execution. (CVE-2011-3062)
- Memory safety issues exist that could lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2012-0467)
- A use-after-free error exists related to 'IDBKeyRange' of 'indexedDB'. (CVE-2012-0469)
- Heap-corruption errors exist related to 'gfxImageSurface' which can lead to possible code execution. (CVE-2012-0470)
- A multi-octet encoding issue exists that could allow cross-site scripting attacks as certain octets in multibyte character sets can destroy following octets.
(CVE-2012-0471)
- An error exists in 'WebGLBuffer' that can lead to the reading of illegal video memory. (CVE-2012-0473)
- An unspecified error can allow URL bar spoofing.
(CVE-2012-0474)
- A decoding issue exists related to 'ISO-2022-KR' and 'ISO-2022-CN' character sets which can lead to cross- site scripting attacks. (CVE-2012-0477)
- An error exists related to 'WebGL' and 'texImage2D' that can allow application crashes and possibly code execution when 'JSVAL_TO_OBJECT' is used on ordinary objects. (CVE-2012-0478)
- Address bar spoofing is possible when 'Atom XML' or 'RSS' data is loaded over HTTPS leading to phishing attacks. (CVE-2012-0479)
Solution
Upgrade to Firefox 10.0.4 ESR or later.
