Descriptions

Some Arabic and Indic vowel marker characters can be combined with Latin characters in a domain name to eclipse the non-Latin character with some font sets on the addressbar. The non-Latin character will not be visible to most viewers. This allows for domain spoofing attacks because these combined domain names do not display as punycode. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 57.

Algunos caracteres marcas de vocales árabes e indios se pueden combinar con caracteres latinos en un nombre de dominio para eclipsar caracteres no latinos con algunas familias de fuentes en la barra de direcciones. El carácter no latino no será visible en la mayoría de los visualizadores. 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.
