Description

Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.18, Thunderbird before 3.1.11, and SeaMonkey through 2.0.14 do not distinguish between cookies for two domain names that differ only in a trailing dot, which allows remote web servers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via Set-Cookie headers.

Solution(s)

  • mozilla-firefox-upgrade-3_6_18

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
