Description

Multiple Mozilla products contain a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not properly decode the ISO-2022-KR and ISO-2022-CN character sets. 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.
