Descriptions

The nsXMLHttpRequest::NotifyEventListeners method in Firefox 3.x before 3.0.4, Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.18, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.18, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.13 allows remote attackers to bypass the same-origin policy and execute arbitrary script via multiple listeners, which bypass the inner window check.

El método nsXMLHttpRequest::NotifyEventListeners en Firefox v3.x anterior a v3.0.4, Firefox v2.x anterior a v2.0.0.18, Thunderbird v2.x anterior a v2.0.0.18 y SeaMonkey v1.x anterior a v1.1.13; permite a atacantes remotos eludir la política de mismo-origen y ejecutar secuencias de comandos (scripts) de su elección a través de múltiples oyentes; esto evita la comprobación de la ventana interior.
