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 manage history data, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or obtain sensitive POST content via vectors involving a location.hash write operation and history navigation that triggers the loading of a URL into the history object.

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 gestiona adecuadamente los datos del historico, lo que permite a atacantes remotos llevar a cabo ataques de ejecución de secuencias de comandos en sitios cruzados (XSS) u obtener información sensible de contenidos POST a través de vectores que implican una operación de escritura location.hash y el historial de navegación que activa la carga de una URL en el objeto de la historia.
