Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 36.0.4, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.5.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.33.1 allow remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges via vectors involving SVG hash navigation.

Mozilla Firefox anterior a 36.0.4, Firefox ESR 31.x anterior a 31.5.3, y SeaMonkey anterior a 2.33.1 permiten a atacantes remotos evadir Same Origin Policy y ejecutar código JavaScript arbitrario con privilegios chrome a través de vectores que involucran la navegación por hashes de SVG.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass the same-origin policy on vulnerable installations of Mozilla Firefox. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of SVG format content navigation. By using a DOMAttrModified mutation event listener, an attacker can inject an arbitrary URL into the history, and cause Firefox to break the same-origin isolation policy.
