Description

Certain versions of Mozilla Firefox allow a malicious web site operator to spoof the extension of a downloaded file using the Content-Disposition HTTP header. This may result in the user being tricked into downloading and running arbitrary code.

Solution(s)

  • mozilla-firefox-upgrade-1_0_1
  • mozilla-firefox-upgrade-latest
