NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200701-02.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200701-02 (Mozilla Firefox: Multiple vulnerabilities) An anonymous researcher found evidence of memory corruption in the way Mozilla Firefox handles certain types of SVG comment DOM nodes. Additionally, Frederik Reiss discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in the conversion of a CSS cursor. Other issues with memory corruption were also fixed. Mozilla Firefox also contains less severe vulnerabilities involving JavaScript and Java. Impact : An attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web page that will trigger one of the vulnerabilities, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code. It is also possible for an attacker to perform cross-site scripting attacks, leading to the exposure of sensitive information, like user credentials. Workaround : There are no known workarounds for all the issues at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 23991 published 2007-01-08 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/23991 title GLSA-200701-02 : Mozilla Firefox: Multiple vulnerabilities code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200701-02. # # The advisory text is Copyright (C) 2001-2015 Gentoo Foundation, Inc. # and licensed under the Creative Commons - Attribution / Share Alike # license.
