Descriptions

The Reader mode feature in Mozilla Firefox before 37.0.1 on Android, and Desktop Firefox pre-release, does not properly handle privileged URLs, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges by leveraging the ability to bypass the Same Origin Policy.

La característica Reader mode en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 37.0.1 en Android, y el prelanzamiento de Desktop Firefox, no maneja correctamente las URLs privilegiadas, lo que facilita a atacantes remotos ejecutar código JavaScript arbitrario con privilegios chrome mediante el aprovechamiento de la habilidad de evadir Same Origin Policy.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, the worst of which may allow user-assisted execution of arbitrary code. Versions less than 38.5.0 are affected.
