Certain versions of Mozilla Firefox mistakenly allow an unprivileged page to load a privileged page (such as 'about:mozilla'). If this weakness was combined with another vulnerability, the execution of arbitrary code would then be possible.

Solution(s)

  • mozilla-firefox-upgrade-1_0_7
  • mozilla-firefox-upgrade-latest
