Descriptions

The XrayWrapper implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 17.0, Thunderbird before 17.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.14 does not consider the compartment during property filtering, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended chrome-only restrictions on reading DOM object properties via a crafted web site.

La implementación XrayWrapper en Mozilla Firefox anterior a v17.0, Thunderbird anterior a v17.0, y SeaMonkey anterior a v2.14 no considera el compartimiento durante la característica de filtrado, permitiendo a atacantes remotos eludir las restricciones chrome-only sobre la lectura de propiedades de objetos DOM mediante un sitio manipulado.
