CVE-2012-4193

Publication date 11 October 2012

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Mozilla Firefox before 16.0.1, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.9, Thunderbird before 16.0.1, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.9, and SeaMonkey before 2.13.1 omit a security check in the defaultValue function during the unwrapping of security wrappers, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and read the properties of a Location object, or execute arbitrary JavaScript code, via a crafted web site.
