Description Vincent Danen 2010-03-24 16:58:04 EDT
Mozilla developer Wladimir Palant reported that stylesheets used in remote
XUL documents can wind up in the XUL cache where it can later be accessed
by browser chrome for use in styling the user interface. A malicious
website could use this issue to pollute a user's XUL cache and change style
attributes of their browser such as font size and color.
