This host is installed with Mozilla Firefox and is prone to Chrome Privilege Escalation vulnerability. Successful exploitation will let attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges when certain add-ons are enabled. Error in 'nsDocument::SetScriptGlobalObject()' function in 'nsDocument.cpp' in content/base/src/ which does not properly handle a Link HTTP header, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges via a crafted web page, related to an incorrect security wrapper. Upgrade to Firefox version 3.5.
