Mozilla XULRunner 1.9.1 was updated to the 1.9.1.19 security release.

  - Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory     safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and     other Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs showed     evidence of memory corruption under certain     circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at     least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary     code.

  - Mozilla developer Scoobidiver reported a memory safety     issue which affected Firefox 4 and Firefox 3.6     (CVE-2011-0081) The web development team of Alcidion     reported a crash that affected Firefox 4, Firefox 3.6     and Firefox 3.5. (CVE-2011-0069)

    Ian Beer reported a crash that affected Firefox 4,     Firefox 3.6 and Firefox 3.5. (CVE-2011-0070)

    Mozilla developers Bob Clary, Henri Sivonen, Marco     Bonardo, Mats Palmgren and Jesse Ruderman reported     memory safety issues which affected Firefox 3.6 and     Firefox 3.5. (CVE-2011-0080)

    Aki Helin reported memory safety issues which affected     Firefox 3.6 and Firefox 3.5. (CVE-2011-0074 /     CVE-2011-0075)

    Ian Beer reported memory safety issues which affected     Firefox 3.6 and Firefox 3.5. (CVE-2011-0077 /     CVE-2011-0078)

    Martin Barbella reported a memory safety issue which     affected Firefox 3.6 and Firefox 3.5. (CVE-2011-0072)

  - Security researcher regenrecht reported several dangling     pointer vulnerabilities via TippingPoint's Zero Day     Initiative. (MFSA 2011-13 / CVE-2011-0065 /     CVE-2011-0066 / CVE-2011-0073)

  - Security researcher Paul Stone reported that a Java     applet could be used to mimic interaction with form     autocomplete controls and steal entries from the form     history. (MFSA 2011-14 / CVE-2011-0067)

  - Chris Evans of the Chrome Security Team reported that     the XSLT generate-id() function returned a string that     revealed a specific valid address of an object on the     memory heap. It is possible that in some cases this     address would be valuable information that could be used     by an attacker while exploiting a different memory     corruption but, in order to make an exploit more     reliable or work around mitigation features in the     browser or operating system.

  - David Remahl of Apple Product Security reported that the     Java Embedding Plugin (JEP) shipped with the Mac OS X     versions of Firefox could be exploited to obtain     elevated access to resources on a user's system. (MFSA     2011-15 / CVE-2011-0076)

  - Security researcher Soroush Dalili reported that the     resource: protocol could be exploited to allow directory     traversal on Windows and the potential loading of     resources from non-permitted locations. The impact would     depend on whether interesting files existed in     predictable locations in a useful format. For example,     the existence or non-existence of particular images     might indicate whether certain software was installed.

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2012-977:01 advisory.

    This C library allows to transform XML files into other XML files (or HTML, text, ...) using the standard     XSLT stylesheet transformation mechanism. To use it you need to have a version of libxml2 >= 2.6.27     installed. The xsltproc command is a command line interface to the XSLT engine     Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2011-1202     The xsltGenerateIdFunction function in functions.c in libxslt 1.1.26 and earlier, as used in Google Chrome     before 10.0.648.127 and other products, allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive     information about heap memory addresses via an XML document containing a call to the XSLT generate-id     XPath function.
     CVE-2011-3970     libxslt, as used in Google Chrome before 17.0.963.46, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors.
     CVE-2012-2825     The XSL implementation in Google Chrome before 20.0.1132.43 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (incorrect read operation) via unspecified vectors.
     CVE-2012-2870     libxslt 1.1.26 and earlier, as used in Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.89, does not properly manage memory,     which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted XSLT     expression that is not properly identified during XPath navigation, related to (1) the     xsltCompileLocationPathPattern function in libxslt/pattern.c and (2) the xsltGenerateIdFunction function     in libxslt/functions.c.
     CVE-2012-2871     libxml2 2.9.0-rc1 and earlier, as used in Google Chrome before 21.0.1180.89, does not properly support a     cast of an unspecified variable during handling of XSL transforms, which allows remote attackers to cause     a denial of service or possibly have unknown other impact via a crafted document, related to the _xmlNs     data structure in include/libxml/tree.h.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Boris Zbarsky, Gary Kwong, Jesse Ruderman, Michael Wu, and Ted Mielczarek discovered multiple memory vulnerabilities. An attacker could exploit these to possibly run arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2011-0079)

It was discovered that there was a vulnerability in the memory handling of certain types of content. An attacker could exploit this to possibly run arbitrary code as the user running Firefox.
(CVE-2011-0081)

It was discovered that Firefox incorrectly handled certain JavaScript requests. An attacker could exploit this to possibly run arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2011-0069)

Ian Beer discovered a vulnerability in the memory handling of a certain types of documents. An attacker could exploit this to possibly run arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2011-0070)

Chris Evans discovered a vulnerability in Firefox's XSLT generate-id() function. An attacker could possibly use this vulnerability to make other attacks more reliable. (CVE-2011-1202).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 / 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2012:1265 advisory.
