Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.19 and 3.5.x before 3.5.8, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.3, when the XMLHttpRequestSpy module in the Firebug add-on is used, does not properly handle interaction between the XMLHttpRequestSpy object and chrome privileged objects, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript via a crafted HTTP response.

Mozilla Firefox anteriores a v3.0.19 y v3.5.x anteriores a v3.5.8, y SeaMonkey anteriores a v2.0.3, cuando se utiliza el modulo XMLHttpRequestSpy en el complemento Firebug, no gestiona adecuadamente la interacción entre el objeto XMLHttpRequestSpy y los objetos con privilegios chrome, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar JavaScript de forma arbitraria a través de peticiones HTTP manipuladas.
