Descriptions

The Math.random function in the JavaScript implementation in Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x before 3.5.10 and 3.6.x before 3.6.4, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.5, uses a random number generator that is seeded only once per browser session, which makes it easier for remote attackers to track a user, or trick a user into acting upon a spoofed pop-up message, by calculating the seed value, related to a "temporary footprint" and an "in-session phishing attack."

La función Math.random en la implementación de JavaScript en Mozilla Firefox versiones 3.5.x anteriores a 3.5.10 y versiones 3.6.x anteriores a 3.6.4, y SeaMonkey anterior a versión 2.0.5, usa un generador de números aleatorios que es insertado sólo una vez por sesión de navegador, lo que facilita a los atacantes remotos rastrear a un usuario, o engañar a un usuario para que actúe en base a un mensaje emergente falsificado, calculando el valor seed, en relación a una "temporary footprint" y un "in-session phishing attack."
