Description Josh Bressers 2007-11-21 15:17:14 UTC 
A race condition exists when setting the window.location property on a web page.
This flaw could allow a page to set an arbitrary Referer header, which may lead
to a Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack against websites that rely only on
the Referer header.
