High | moz_bug_r_a4 | nsXMLDocument::OnChannelRedirect() same-origin violation |
Description
Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported
that the same-origin check in nsXMLDocument::OnChannelRedirect()
could be bypassed. This vulnerability could be used to execute JavaScript
in the context of a different website.
Firefox 3 is not affected by this issue
Thunderbird shares the browser engine with Firefox and could be vulnerable if JavaScript were to be enabled in mail. This is not the default setting and we strongly discourage users from running JavaScript in mail.
Workaround
Disable JavaScript until a version containing these fixes can be installed.
