=========== |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Jesse Ruderman and Petko D. Petkov reported that the jar protocol |
| 45 |
handler in Mozilla Firefox and Seamonkey does not properly check MIME |
| 46 |
types (CVE-2007-5947). Gregory Fleischer reported that the |
| 47 |
window.location property can be used to generate a fake HTTP Referer |
| 48 |
(CVE-2007-5960). Multiple memory errors have also been reported |
| 49 |
(CVE-2007-5959). |

Impact |

====== |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
A remote attacker could possibly exploit these vulnerabilities to |
| 55 |
execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser and conduct |
| 56 |
Cross-Site-Scripting or Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
