CVE-2011-2999

Firefox < 3.6.23 and 4.x-5 - Same Origin Policy Bypass via Frame Name

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.23 and 4.x through 5, Thunderbird before 6.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.3 do not properly handle "location" as the name of a frame, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted web site, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0170.
