Description Josh Bressers 2009-09-07 18:08:45 UTC

Security researcher Juan Pablo Lopez Yacubian reported that the default
Windows font used to render the locationbar and other text fields was
improperly displaying certain Unicode characters with tall line-height. In
such cases the tall line-height would cause the rest of the text in the
input field to be scrolled vertically out of view. An attacker could use
this vulnerability to prevent a user from seeing the URL of a malicious
site.
