Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.72498
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2012:167 (firefox)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to firefox
announced via advisory MDVSA-2012:167.

A security issue were identified and fixed in mozilla firefox:

Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported a regression where
security wrappers are unwrapped without doing a security check in
defaultValue(). This can allow for improper access access to the
Location object. In versions 15 and earlier of affected products, there
was also the potential for arbitrary code execution (CVE-2012-4193).

The mozilla firefox packages has been upgraded to the latest version
which is unaffected by this security flaw.

Affected: Enterprise Server 5.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
