Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2011-06-20 07:18:17 UTC

Mozilla security researcher David Chan reported that cookies set for example.com. (note the trailing dot) and example.com were treated as interchangeable. This is a violation of same-origin conventions and could potentially lead to leakage of cookie data to the wrong party.

This issue did not affect Firefox 4 or newer products.
