Descriptions

The CSS parser in Mozilla Firefox 3.x before 3.0.5 and 2.x before 2.0.0.19, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.19, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.14 ignores the '\0' escaped null character, which might allow remote attackers to bypass protection mechanisms such as sanitization routines.

El analizador CSS en Mozilla Firefox 3.x en versiones anteriores a 3.0.5 y 2.x en versiones anteriores 2.0.0.19, Thunderbird 2.x en versiones anteriores a 2.0.0.19, y SeaMonkey 1.x en versiones anteriores a 1.1.14 ignora el carácter de escape nulo '\0', el cual debería permitir a un atacante remoto evitar los mecanismos de protección como las rutinas de limpieza.
