CWE-284  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable firefox to version 49.0-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

Mozilla Firefox before 49.0 allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted fragment identifier in the SRC attribute of an IFRAME element, leading to insufficient restrictions on link-color information after a document is resized.
