Descriptions

The Math.random function in the JavaScript implementation in Mozilla Firefox 3.5.10 through 3.5.11, 3.6.4 through 3.6.8, and 4.0 Beta1 uses a random number generator that is seeded only once per document object, which makes it easier for remote attackers to track a user, or trick a user into acting upon a spoofed pop-up message, by calculating the seed value, related to a "temporary footprint" and an "in-session phishing attack." NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2008-5913.

La función Math.random en la implementación JavaScript en Mozilla Firefox v3.5.10 hasta v3.5.11, v3.6.4 hasta v3.6.8, y v4.0 Beta1 usa un generador de números aleatorios que se siembra una sola vez por documento objeto, lo cual facilita a los atacantes remotos el seguimiento de un usuario, o engañar a un usuario a que actúe sobre un mensaje pop-up falso, mediante el cálculo del valor de la semilla, relacionado con una "temporary footprint" y una "in-session phishing attack". NOTA: esta vulnerabilidad existe debido a una solución incompleta de CVE-2008-5913.
