Mozilla Firefox through 27 sends HTTP Cookie headers without first
validating that they have the required character-set restrictions,
which allows remote attackers to conduct the equivalent of a
persistent Logout CSRF attack via a crafted parameter that forces a
web application to set a malformed cookie within an HTTP response.

Comment 1 Murray McAllister 2014-02-18 04:52:48 UTC

This is waiting to be fixed upstream (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=858215)

Statement:

This issue affects the version of firefox as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6. Upstream does not include moderate impact fixes in the Extended Support Releases. This issue will be addressed in the next ESR rebase.
