The remote host is missing an update for the 'firefox' package(s) announced via the USN-4637-1 advisory. Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information across origins, bypass security restrictions, conduct phishing attacks, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, bypass Content Security Policy (CSP) restrictions, conduct DNS rebinding attacks, or execute arbitrary code. 'firefox' package(s) on Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 20.10. Please install the updated package(s)
