The combined, single character, version of the letter 'i' with any of the potential accents in unicode, such as acute or grave, can be spoofed in the addressbar by the dotless version of 'i' followed by the same accent as a second character with most font sets. This allows for domain spoofing attacks because these combined domain names do not display as punycode. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 57.
El carácter único, combinado, versión de la letra "i"con uno de los acentos potenciales en unicode, como el agudo o el grave, se pueden suplantar en la barra de dirección mediante la versión sin puntos de "i" seguido del mismo acento como carácter secundarios con la mayoría de las familias de fuentes. Esto permite la realización de ataques de suplantación de dominios porque estos nombres de dominio combinados no se muestran como punycode. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a las versiones anteriores a la 57 de Firefox.
USN-3477-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The update caused search suggestions to not be displayed when performing Google searches from the search bar. 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 cause a denial of service, read uninitialized memory, obtain sensitive information, bypass same-origin restrictions, bypass CSP protections, bypass mixed content blocking, spoof the addressbar, or execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that javascript: URLs pasted in to the addressbar would be executed instead of being blocked in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to copying a specially crafted URL in to the addressbar, an attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. It was discovered that exported bookmarks do not strip script elements from user-supplied tags. If a user were tricked in to adding specially crafted tags to bookmarks, exporting them and then opening the resulting HTML file, an attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. Various other issues were also addressed.
