Description

Mozilla Firefox and SeaMonkey contain a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the file or directory names upon submission to the Gopher parser. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
