Descriptions
A mechanism to spoof the addressbar through the user interaction on the addressbar and the "onblur" event. The event could be used by script to affect text display to make the loaded site appear to be different from the one actually loaded within the addressbar. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.1, Firefox ESR < 52.1, and Firefox < 53.
Mecanismo para suplantar la barra de direcciones mediante interacción del usuario en la barra de direcciones y el evento "onblur". El evento podría ser utilizado por el script para afectar la visualización de texto y hacer que el sitio cargado parezca ser diferente del que se ha cargado realmente en la barra de direcciones. La vulnerabilidad afecta a Thunderbird en versiones anteriores a la 52.1, Firefox ESR en versiones anteriores a la 52.1 y Firefox en versiones anteriores a la 53.
USN-3260-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The update caused the date picker panel and form validation errors to close immediately on opening. This update fixes the problem. Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to read uninitialized memory, obtain sensitive information, spoof the addressbar contents or other UI elements, escape the sandbox to read local files, conduct cross-site scripting attacks, cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. A flaw was discovered in the DRBG number generation in NSS. If an attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could potentially be exploited to view sensitive information. Various other issues were also addressed.
