The remote host is missing an update for the 'firefox' package(s) announced via the USN-546-1 advisory. It was discovered that Firefox incorrectly associated redirected sites as the origin of 'jar:' contents. Malicious web sites could exploit this to modify or steal confidential data. Various flaws were discovered in the layout and JavaScript engines, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. Additionally, a vulnerability allowed JavaScript to manipulate Firefox's Referer header, enabling cross-site request forgeries against sites that relied only on Referer headers for protection

this to conduct cross-site request forgeries against sites that relied
