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: 5.9
Synopsis
The remote Windows host contains a web browser that is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
The installed version of Firefox ESR 17.x is earlier than 17.0.9, and is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :
- Memory issues exist in the browser engine that could allow for denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
(CVE-2013-1718, CVE-2013-1719)
- Multiple use-after-free problems exist that could result in denial of service attacks or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-1735, CVE-2013-1736)
- A buffer overflow is possible because of an issue with multi-column layouts. (CVE-2013-1732)
- A JavaScript compartment mismatch could result in a denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
Versions of Firefox 20 or greater are not susceptible to the arbitrary code execution mentioned above.
(CVE-2013-1730)
- Incorrect scope handling for JavaScript objects with compartments could result in denial of service or possibly arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-1725)
- An object is not properly identified during use of user-defined getter methods on DOM proxies. This could result in access restrictions being bypassed.
(CVE-2013-1737)
Solution
Upgrade to Firefox 17.0.9 ESR or later.
