Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 24.0 on Android allows attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy, and consequently conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or obtain password or cookie information, by using a symlink in conjunction with a file: URL for a local file.

Mozilla Firefox anterior a 24.0 en Android permite a atacantes evitar la Same Origin Policy, y por lo tanto realizar ataques de cross-site scripting (XSS) o obtener la contraseña o la información de las cookies, mediante el uso de un enlace simbólico en conjunción con un archivo: URL para un archivo local.
