The remote host is missing an update for the 'xulrunner'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
Mozilla XULRunner was updated to 14.0.1, fixing bugs and
security issues:
The following security issues were fixed: MFSA 2012-42: Mozilla
developers identified and fixed several memory safety bugs
in the browser engine used in Firefox and other
Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs showed evidence
of memory corruption under certain circumstances, and we
presume that with enough effort at least some of these
could be exploited to run arbitrary code.
CVE-2012-1949: Brian Smith, Gary Kwong, Christian Holler,
Jesse Ruderman, Christoph Diehl, Chris Jones, Brad Lassey,
and Kyle Huey reported memory safety problems and crashes
that affect Firefox 13.
CVE-2012-1948: Benoit Jacob, Jesse Ruderman, Christian
Holler, and Bill McCloskey reported memory safety problems
and crashes that affect Firefox ESR 10 and Firefox 13.
MFSA 2012-43 / CVE-2012-1950: Security researcher Mario
Gomes andresearch firm Code Audit Labs reported a mechanism
to short-circuit page loads through drag and drop to the
addressbar by canceling the page load. This causes the
address of the previously site entered to be displayed in
the addressbar instead of the currently loaded page. This
could lead to potential phishing attacks on users.
MFSA 2012-44
Google security researcher Abhishek Arya used the Address
Sanitizer tool to uncover four issues: two use-after-free
problems, one out of bounds read bug, and a bad cast. The
first use-after-free problem is caused when an array of
nsSMILTimeValueSpec objects is destroyed but attempts are
made to call into objects in this array later. The second
use-after-free problem is in nsDocument::AdoptNode when it
adopts into an empty document and then adopts into another
document, emptying the first one. The heap buffer overflow
is in ElementAnimations when data is read off of end of an
array and then pointers are dereferenced. The bad cast
happens when nsTableFrame::InsertFrames is called with
frames in aFrameList that are a mix of row group frames and
column group frames. AppendFrames is not able to handle
this mix.
All four of these issues are potentially exploitable.
