Descriptions
Mozilla Firefox 3.x before 3.0.4 assigns chrome privileges to a file: URI when it is accessed in the same tab from a chrome or privileged about: page, which makes it easier for user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges via malicious code in a file that has already been saved on the local system.
Mozilla Firefox v3.x anteriores a 3.0.4 asigna privilegios chrome a un fichero: URI cuando se accede desde una misma pestaña que tenga privilegios chrome o desde una pagina about: con privilegios, lo que permite a atacantes ayudados por el usuario ejecutar JavaSript a su elección con privilegios chrome a través de código malicioso en un fichero que ya este guardado en el sistema local.
