CVE-2008-5503

Publication date 17 December 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The loadBindingDocument function in Mozilla Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.19, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.19, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.14 does not perform any security checks related to the same-domain policy, which allows remote attackers to read or access data from other domains via crafted XBL bindings.
