Privilege escalation through Print Preview


Georgi Guninski reported two variants of using scripts in an XBL control to
gain chrome privileges when the page is viewed under "Print Preview". This
vulnerability exists even if web-content JavaScript is turned off

Workaround

Do not use Print Preview until you upgrade to a fixed version.
