Synopsis
The remote host has a web browser installed that is vulnerable to multiple attack vectors.Description
Versions of Mozilla Firefox prior to 1.5.0.2 or 1.0.8 are affected by various security issues, several of which are critical as they can be easily exploited to execute arbitrary shell code on the remote host. The version of Firefox is vulnerable to multiple denial of service attacks, overflows, information disclosure, privilege escalation, and other issues. An attacker exploiting these flaws would need to be able to convince a Firefox user to browse to a malicious URI.Solution
Upgrade to version 1.5.0.2, 1.0.8 or higher.See Also
