Description

Mozilla contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because of a design error that allows event handlers in a web document from one domain to be executed in the context of another. . This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
