CVE-2009-3012

Publication date 31 August 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Mozilla Firefox 3.0.13 and earlier, 3.5, 3.6 a1 pre, and 3.7 a1 pre does not properly block data: URIs in Location headers in HTTP responses, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via vectors related to (1) injecting a Location header that contains JavaScript sequences in a data:text/html URI or (2) entering a data:text/html URI with JavaScript sequences when specifying the content of a Location header. NOTE: the JavaScript executes outside of the context of the HTTP site.
