Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x before 3.0.18 and 3.5.x before 3.5.8, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.3, does not properly support the application/octet-stream content type as a protection mechanism against execution of web script in certain circumstances involving SVG and the EMBED element, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via an embedded SVG document.

Mozilla Firefox v3.0.x anteriores v3.0.18 y v3.5.x anteriores v3.5.8, y SeaMonkey before v2.0.3, no soporta de forma adecuada el tipo de contenido application/octet-stream como mecanismo de protección contra la ejecución de ficheros de comandos web en ciertas circunstancias implicando elementos SVG y EMBED, lo que permite a atacantes remotos evitar la Same Origin Policy, y conducir ataques ejecución de secuencias de comandos en sitios cruzados (XSS) a través de documentos SVG embebidos.
