NASL family MacOS X Local Security Checks NASL id MACOSX_FIREFOX_48.NASL description The version of Firefox installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 48. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - An overflow condition exists in the expat XML parser due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling malformed input documents. An attacker can exploit this to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0718) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to a failure to close connections after requesting favicons.
