The remote host is missing an update for the 'firefox, xulrunner-1.9.2' package(s) announced via the USN-1251-1 advisory. It was discovered that several vulnerabilities affected Firefox 3.6, including possible privilege escalation in addons and the mishandling of invalid sequences in the Shift-JIS encoding, which could lead to data theft or injection of malicious scripts into web content. Additionally, using Firebug to profile a JavaScript file with many functions could cause Firefox to crash, potentially allowing remote exploitation
