The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The txXPathNodeUtils::getXSLTId function in txMozillaXPathTreeWalker.cpp and     txStandaloneXPathTreeWalker.cpp in Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.19, 3.6.x before 3.6.17, and 4.x before     4.0.1, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.14, 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-2011-1712)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web       page or email, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a       Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able       to perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks, obtain sensitive information,       bypass restrictions and protection mechanisms, force file downloads,       conduct XML injection attacks, conduct XSS attacks, bypass the Same       Origin Policy, spoof URL&rsquo;s for phishing attacks, trigger a vertical       scroll, spoof the location bar, spoof an SSL indicator, modify the       browser&rsquo;s font, conduct clickjacking attacks, or have other unspecified       impact.
    A local attacker could gain escalated privileges, obtain sensitive       information, or replace an arbitrary downloaded file.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
