Description David Walser 2012-10-15 14:24:14 CEST
Mandriva has issued an advisory on October 13:
http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/advisories/?dis=mes5&name=MDVSA-2012:167

Updated packages uploaded for Mageia 1 and Mageia 2.

Advisory:
========================

Updated firefox packages fix security vulnerability:

Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported a regression where
security wrappers are unwrapped without doing a security check in
defaultValue(). This can allow for improper access access to the
Location object. In versions 15 and earlier of affected products, there
was also the potential for arbitrary code execution (CVE-2012-4193).
