=================================== Mozilla Security Advisory MSA05-001 =================================== Title: Link opened in new tab can load a local file Severity: Low Reporter: Jesse Ruderman Fixed in: Firefox 1.0 Mozilla Suite 1.7.5 Description ----------- Links with a custom getter and toString method can bypass checks intended to prevent web content from linking to local files and "chrome" URIs if the user can be convinced to middle-click (or control-click) to open it in a new tab. The browser's "same-origin" policy prevents the attacker's content from taking advantage of this flaw to read the local file or manipulate privileged chrome. Workaround ---------- Turn off javascript or upgrade to fixed version References ---------- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249332
