Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.11, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey do not check content policy before loading a script file into a XUL document, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted HTML document, as demonstrated by a "web bug" in an e-mail message, or web script or an advertisement in a web page.

Mozilla Firefox anterior a v3.0.11, Thunderbird, y SeaMonkey no comprueban la politica de contenidos antes de cargar un fichero de secuencia de comandos que este en un documento XUL, lo que permite a atacantes remotos evitar las restricciones de acceso previstas a través de un documento HTML manipulado, como se demostró mediante un "web bug" en un mensaje de correo electrónico, o secuencias de comandos web o un anuncio en una página.
