Description

Certain versions of Mozilla Firefox allow Javascript code to create windows which overlap the download and security dialog windows. As a result, a malicious script can be written which tricks the user into downloading and/or executing arbitrary code.

Solution(s)

  • mozilla-firefox-upgrade-1_0_1
  • mozilla-firefox-upgrade-latest
