Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.55516
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian Security Advisory DSA 837-1 (mozilla-firefox)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to mozilla-firefox
announced via advisory DSA 837-1.

Tom Ferris discovered a bug in the IDN hostname handling of Mozilla
Firefox, which is also present in the other browsers from the same
family that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and
possibly execute arbitrary code via a hostname with dashes.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.0.4-2sarge4.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.0.6-5.

We recommend that you upgrade your mozilla-firefox package.
