The remote host is missing an update for the 'firefox' package(s) announced via the USN-1608-1 advisory. It was discovered that the browser engine used in Firefox contained a memory corruption flaw. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted web page, a remote attacker could cause Firefox to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program. (CVE-2012-4191) It was discovered that Firefox allowed improper access to the Location object. An attacker could exploit this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2012-4192
