Descriptions
If a malicious site uses the "view-source:" protocol in a series within a single hyperlink, it can trigger a non-exploitable browser crash when the hyperlink is selected. This was fixed by no longer making "view-source:" linkable. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 52 and Thunderbird < 52.
Si un sitio malicioso emplea el protocolo "view-source:" en una serie en un único hipervínculo, puede desencadenar un cierre inesperado no explotable del navegador cuando se selecciona el hipervínculo. Esto se solucionó haciendo que "view-source:" ya no fuese enlazable. La vulnerabilidad afecta a Firefox en versiones anteriores a la 52 y Thunderbird en versiones anteriores a la 52.
