Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 16.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.8, Thunderbird before 16.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.8, and SeaMonkey before 2.13 do not properly restrict calls to DOMWindowUtils (aka nsDOMWindowUtils) methods, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via crafted JavaScript code.

Mozilla Firefox v16.0, Firefox ESR v10.x antes de v10.0.8, Thunderbird antes de v16.0, Thunderbird ESR v10.x antes de v10.0.8, y SeaMonkey antes de v2.13, no restringe correctamente las llamadas a métodos DOMWindowUtils (alias nsDOMWindowUtils), lo que permite a atacantes remotos evitar las restricciones de acceso a través de código JavaScript manipulado.
