Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-06-28 16:03:02 UTC

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2010-1206 to
the following vulnerability:

The startDocumentLoad function in browser/base/content/browser.js in
Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.6 does not properly implement the Same
Origin Policy in certain circumstances related to the about:blank
document and a document that is currently loading, which allows (1)
remote web servers to conduct spoofing attacks via vectors involving a
204 (aka No Content) status code, and allows (2) remote attackers to
conduct spoofing attacks via vectors involving a window.stop call.
