Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 48.0 does not properly set the LINKABLE and URI_SAFE_FOR_UNTRUSTED_CONTENT flags of about: URLs that are used for error pages, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct spoofing attacks via a crafted URL, as demonstrated by misleading text after an about:neterror?d= substring.

Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a 48.0 no fija adecuadamente los indicadores LINKABLE y URI_SAFE_FOR_UNTRUSTED_CONTENT de about: URLs que se usan para páginas de error, lo que facilita a atacantes remotos llevar a cabo ataques de suplantación a través de una URL manipuladas, según lo demostrado induciendo a error texto después de un about:neterror?d= substring.
