Description

The SELECT element implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 25.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.1, Thunderbird before 24.1, and SeaMonkey before 2.22 does not properly restrict the nature or placement of HTML within a dropdown menu, which allows remote attackers to spoof the address bar or conduct clickjacking attacks via vectors that trigger navigation off of a page containing this element.

Solution(s)

  • mozilla-firefox-esr-upgrade-24_1
  • mozilla-firefox-upgrade-25_0
