DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Firefox,
Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey, which can be exploited by malicious
people to bypass certain security restrictions and conduct cross-site
scripting attacks.
1) An error when handling the "window.location"object can be
exploited to shadow the object and conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.
2) An error within the "CheckURL()" function of the "window.location"
object can be exploited to return the wrong calling document and
principal and conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
3) An error within the handling of the Location object can be
exploited to bypass security wrapper protection and access the
Location object of other domains.
The vulnerabilities are reported in the following products:
* Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird versions prior to 16.0.2.
* Mozilla Firefox ESR and Thunderbird ESR versions prior to 10.0.10.
* Mozilla SeaMonkey versions prior to 2.13.2.
