Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2013-6167 to the following vulnerability: Name: CVE-2013-6167 URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-6167 Assigned: 20131016 Reference: http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2013/04/03/10 Reference: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2013/q4/117 Reference: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2013/q4/121 Reference: http://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/2188 Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=858215 Mozilla Firefox through 27 sends HTTP Cookie headers without first validating that they have the required character-set restrictions, which allows remote attackers to conduct the equivalent of a persistent Logout CSRF attack via a crafted parameter that forces a web application to set a malformed cookie within an HTTP response.
This is waiting to be fixed upstream (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=858215) Statement: This issue affects the version of firefox as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6. Upstream does not include moderate impact fixes in the Extended Support Releases. This issue will be addressed in the next ESR rebase.
