Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 16.0.2, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.10, Thunderbird before 16.0.2, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.10, and SeaMonkey before 2.13.2 do not prevent use of the valueOf method to shadow the location object (aka window.location), which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via vectors involving a plugin.

Mozilla Firefox anteriores a v16.0.2, Firefox ESR v10.x anteriores a v10.0.10, Thunderbird anteriores a v16.0.2, Thunderbird ESR v10.x anteriores a v10.0.10, y SeaMonkey anteriores a v2.13.2 no previenen el uso del método valueOf method para ocultar la ubicación el objeto (también conocido como window.location), lo que hace que sea más fácil para los atacantes remotos realizar ataques de secuencias de comandos en sitios cruzados(XSS) a través de vectores relacionados con un plugin.
