Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.12 and Thunderbird before 2.0.0.12 does not properly manage a delay timer used in confirmation dialogs, which might allow remote attackers to trick users into confirming an unsafe action, such as remote file execution, by using a timer to change the window focus, aka the "dialog refocus bug" or "ffclick2".

Mozilla Firefox versiones anteriores a 2.0.0.12 y Thunderbird versiones anteriores a 2.0.0.12, no administra apropiadamente un temporizador de retardo utilizado en los diálogos de confirmación, que podría permitir a atacantes remotos engañar a los usuarios para que confirmen una acción no segura, como la ejecución remota de archivos, mediante el uso de un temporizador para cambiar el enfoque de ventana, también conocido como el "dialog refocus bug" o "ffclick2".
