Description Josh Bressers 2008-12-12 20:38:11 UTC
Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported that the fix for a series
of feedWriter vulnerabilities published in a previous security update was
incomplete. moz_bug_r_a4 demonstrated that it was still possible to use the
feed preview as a vector for JavaScript privilege escalation. An attacker
could use this issue to run arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges.
