Insight
The flaws are due to:
- An error in the 'DOM' attribute cloning routine where under certain circumstances an event attribute node can be deleted while another object still contains a reference to it.
- An error in Mozilla's implementation of NodeIterator in which a malicious NodeFilter could be created which would detach nodes from the DOM tree while it was being traversed.
- An error in the code used to store the names and values of plugin parameter elements. A malicious page could embed plugin content containing a very large number of parameter elements which would cause an overflow in the integer value counting them.
- An error in handling of location bar could be spoofed to look like a secure page when the current document was served via plain text.
- Spoofing method does not require that the resource opened in a new window respond with 204, as long as the opener calls window.stop() before the document is loaded.
- Spoofing error occurs when opening a new window containing a resource that responds with an HTTP 204 (no content) and then using the reference to the new window to insert HTML content into the blank document.
Affected
Seamonkey version 2.0.x before 2.0.6
Firefox version 3.5.x before 3.5.11 and 3.6.x before 3.6.7
