Supported Version of Firefox Installed

An XCCDF Rule

Description

If the system is joined to the Red Hat Network, a Red Hat Satellite Server, or a yum server, run the following command to install updates:

$ sudo yum update
If the system is not configured to use one of these sources, updates (in the form of RPM packages) can be manually downloaded and installed using rpm.

Rationale

Use of versions of an application which are not supported by the vendor are not permitted. Vendors respond to security flaws with updates and patches. These updates are not available for unsupported version which can leave the application vulnerable to attack.
