New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

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.
