Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.16, and 3.x before 3.0.1, interprets '|' (pipe) characters in a command-line URI as requests to open multiple tabs, which allows remote attackers to access chrome:i URIs, or read arbitrary local files via manipulations involving a series of URIs that is not entirely handled by a vector application, as exploited in conjunction with CVE-2008-2540. NOTE: this issue exists because of an insufficient fix for CVE-2005-2267.

Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a 2.0.0.16 y 3.x anteriores a 3.0.1, interpreta el caráter (|) tubería en una línea de comando URI como una petición para abrir múltiples pestañas, lo que permite a los atacantes remotos acceso chrome: i URIs o lectura arbitraria de archivos locales a través de manipulación en una serie de URIs que no son completamente controlados por un vector de la aplicación, como un exploit junto con CVE-2008-2540. NOTA: esto existe por un reparación insuficiente de CVE-2005-2267
