Description

Mozilla Firefox before 19.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.3, Thunderbird before 17.0.3, Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.16 do not prevent JavaScript workers from reading the browser-profile directory name, which has unspecified impact and remote attack vectors.

Solution(s)

  • mozilla-firefox-esr-upgrade-17_0_3
  • mozilla-firefox-upgrade-19_0

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
