Vulnerability Scan Summary Check for the version of the galeon packages
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
Updated Mozilla packages are now available for Red Hat Linux Advanced
Server. These new packages fix vulnerabilities in previous versions of
Mozilla.
Mozilla is an open source Web browser. Versions of Mozilla prior to
version 1.0.1 contain various security vulnerabilities. These
vulnerabilities could be used by a possible hacker to read data off of the local
hard drive, to gain information that should normally be kept private, and
in some cases to execute arbitrary code. For more information on the
specific vulnerabilities fixed please see the references below.
All users of Mozilla should update to these errata packages containing
Mozilla version 1.0.1 which is not vulnerable to these issues.
