Descriptions

The nsDocument::MaybePreLoadImage function in content/base/src/nsDocument.cpp in the image-preloading implementation in Mozilla Firefox 3.6 before 3.6.2 does not apply scheme restrictions and policy restrictions to the image's URL, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash or hang) or hijack the functionality of the browser's add-ons via a crafted SRC attribute of an IMG element, as demonstrated by remote command execution through an ssh: URL in a configuration that supports gnome-vfs with a nonstandard network.gnomevfs.supported-protocols setting.

La función nsDocument::MaybePreLoadImage en content/base/src/nsDocument.cpp en la implementación de precarga de imagen en Mozilla Firefox v3.6 anterior a v3.6.2 no aplica los esquemas y políticas de restricción a las URLs de imágenes, lo que permite a atacantes remotos producir una denegación de servicio (caída de aplicación o colgado) o secuestrar la funcionalidad de las extensión del navegador a través de un atributo SRC manipulado de un elemento IMG, como se demuestra en la ejecución remota de comandos a través de un ssh: una URL en un configuración que soporta gnome-vfs con un ajuste network.gnomevfs.supported-protocols no estándar.
