Affects:
- Firefox 3.0.3 and prior
- Firefox 2.0.0.17 and earlier
Description:
The -moz-binding CSS property when used in a signed JAR file can be used to bypass security checks which validate codebase principals (i.e. security restrictions based on the site of origin). This vulnerability can thus allow an attacker to run arbitrary JavaScript within the context of another site.
Resolution and Availability of Patch:
This issue can be addressed by updating Firefox to version 3.0.4 or version 2.0.0.18, both of which are currently available in the OLEX Certified Library.
