Descriptions

File downloads encoded with "blob:" and "data:" URL elements bypassed normal file download checks though the Phishing and Malware Protection feature and its block lists of suspicious sites and files. This would allow malicious sites to lure users into downloading executables that would otherwise be detected as suspicious. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 56, Firefox ESR < 52.4, and Thunderbird < 52.4.

Las descargas de archivos codificados con elementos URL "blob:" y "data:" omitían las comprobaciones de descarga de archivos normales a pesar de la característica Phishing and Malware Protection y sus listas de bloqueo de páginas y archivos sospechosos. Esto permitiria a los sitios maliciosos engañar a los usuarios para que descarguen ejecutables que, de otra manera, se habrían detectado como sospechosos. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a las versiones anteriores a la 56 de Firefox, las versiones anteriores a la 52.4 de Firefox ESR y las versiones anteriores a la 52.4 de Thunderbird.
