Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory FEDORA-2005-182 (firefox).
Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser, designed for standards
compliance, performance and portability.

It is recommended that all users update to Firefox 1.0.1.
Additionally, this update backports several fixes from rawhide.
This update enables pango font rendering by default.
