The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200503-10 (Mozilla Firefox: Various vulnerabilities)

The following vulnerabilities were found and fixed in Mozilla     Firefox:
Michael Krax reported that plugins can be used     to load privileged content and trick the user to interact with it     (CAN-2005-0232, CAN-2005-0527)     Michael Krax also reported     potential spoofing or cross-site-scripting issues through overlapping     windows, image drag-and-drop, and by dropping javascript: links on tabs     (CAN-2005-0230, CAN-2005-0231, CAN-2005-0591)     Daniel de Wildt     and Gael Delalleau discovered a memory overwrite in a string library     (CAN-2005-0255)     Wind Li discovered a possible heap overflow in     UTF8 to Unicode conversion (CAN-2005-0592)     Eric Johanson     reported that Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) features allow     homograph attacks (CAN-2005-0233)     Mook, Doug Turner, Kohei     Yoshino and M. Deaudelin reported various ways of spoofing the SSL     'secure site' indicator (CAN-2005-0593)     Matt Brubeck reported     a possible Autocomplete data leak (CAN-2005-0589)     Georgi     Guninski discovered that XSLT can include stylesheets from arbitrary     hosts (CAN-2005-0588)     Secunia discovered a way of injecting     content into a popup opened by another website (CAN-2004-1156)     Phil Ringnalda reported a possible way to spoof Install source with     user:pass@host (CAN-2005-0590)     Jakob Balle from Secunia     discovered a possible way of spoofing the Download dialog source     (CAN-2005-0585)     Christian Schmidt reported a potential     spoofing issue in HTTP auth prompt tab (CAN-2005-0584)     Andreas     Sanblad from Secunia discovered a possible way of spoofing the Download     dialog using the Content-Disposition header (CAN-2005-0586)     Finally, Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team     discovered that Firefox insecurely creates temporary filenames in     /tmp/plugtmp (CAN-2005-0578)   Impact :

By setting up malicious websites and convincing users to     follow untrusted links or obey very specific drag-and-drop or download     instructions, attackers may leverage the various spoofing issues to     fake other websites to get access to confidential information, push     users to download malicious files or make them interact with their     browser preferences.
The temporary directory issue allows     local attackers to overwrite arbitrary files with the rights of another     local user.
The overflow issues, while not thought to be     exploitable, may allow a malicious downloaded page to execute arbitrary     code with the rights of the user viewing the page.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
