Description Josh Bressers 2008-12-12 20:57:27 UTC 
Jun Muto reported that null characters were ignored by the CSS parser and
treated as if they weren't present in the CSS input string. This issue
could potentially be used to bypass script sanitization routines in web
applications. The severity of this issue was determined to be low.
