Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox executes DOM calls in response to a javascript: URI in the target attribute of a submit element within a form contained in an inline PDF file, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended Adobe Acrobat JavaScript restrictions on accessing the document object, as demonstrated by a web site that permits PDF uploads by untrusted users, and therefore has a shared document.domain between the web site and this javascript: URI. NOTE: the researcher reports that Adobe's position is "a PDF file is active content."

Mozilla Firefox ejecuta llamadas a DOM en respuesta a un "javascript: URI" en el atributo target de un elemento submit en un formulario contenido en un fichero PDF, lo que podría permitir a atacantes remotos eludir las restricciones JavaScript al acceder al objeto de documento, como lo demuestran un sitio web que permite subir archivos PDF por usuarios no confiables, y por lo tanto disponer de un document.domain compartido entre el sitio web y este "javascript: URI". NOTA: El investigador informa de que la posición de Adobe es "un archivo PDF es contenido activo".
