Description

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.16 and 3.5.x before 3.5.6, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.1, allows remote attackers to spoof an SSL indicator for an http URL or a file URL by setting document.location to an https URL corresponding to a site that responds with a No Content (aka 204) status code and an empty body.

Solution(s)

  • mozilla-firefox-upgrade-3_0_16
