Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Multiple security issues have been found in Iceweasel, Debian's version of the Mozilla Firefox web browser: Multiple memory safety errors, use-after-frees and other implementation errors may lead to the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service. This update also addresses a vulnerability in DHE key processing commonly known as the 'LogJam' vulnerability.

Solution

Upgrade the iceweasel packages.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 31.8.0esr-1~deb7u1.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 31.8.0esr-1~deb8u1.
