Description Vincent Danen 2010-03-24 21:04:37 UTC 
Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reports that by using an
appropriately wrapped object it was possible to bypass the fix for MFSA
2007-19. Prior to Firefox 3.6 this gives an attacker the ability to perform
cross-site scripting attacks against arbitrary sites as in the original
MFSA 2007-19 attack. Due to unrelated changes in the browser engine used by
Firefox 3.6, attacks in that version are limited to capturing keystroke
events from a cross-origin frame or window rather than full DOM access.
Those events might be sufficient to illicitly obtain passwords or other
sensitive information entered into web forms.

Upstream advisory:

http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2010/mfsa2010-12.html

This was fixed in upstream Firefox 3.0.18, and via RHSA-2010:0112 in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.
