CVE-2012-3986

Mozilla Firefox < 16.0 - Remote Code Execution via DOMWindowUtils Method Calls

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

Mozilla Firefox before 16.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.8, Thunderbird before 16.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.8, and SeaMonkey before 2.13 do not properly restrict calls to DOMWindowUtils (aka nsDOMWindowUtils) methods, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via crafted JavaScript code.
