Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.15 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.10 do not properly identify the context of Windows shortcut files, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted web site for which the user has previously saved a shortcut.

Mozilla Firefox anterior a 2.0.0.15 y SeaMonkey anterior a 1.1.10, no identifican correctamente el contexto de los ficheros de acceso de directo de Windows, esto permite a atacantes remotos con la ayuda del usuario evitar el Same Origin Policy mediante un sitio Web manipulado en el que el usuario haya guardado previamente un acceso directo.
