Description Josh Bressers 2010-07-16 19:42:16 UTC

Security researcher O. Andersen reported that undefined positions within
various 8 bit character encodings are mapped to the sequence U+FFFD which
when displayed causes the immediately following character to disappear from
the text run. This could potentially contribute to XSS problems on sites
which expected extra characters to be present within strings being
sanitized on the server.
