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 allow remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a binary plugin that uses Object.defineProperty to shadow the top object, and leverages the relationship between top.location and the location property.

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, permite a atacantes remotos llevar a cabo ataques de ejecución de secuencias de comandos en sitios cruzados (XSS) a través de un complemento binario que utiliza Object.defineProperty para sombrear el objeto superior y y aprovecha la relación entre top.location y la propiedad de ubicación.
