NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream thunderbird-debuginfo package and not the thunderbird-debuginfo package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.12 and 3.6.x before 3.6.9, Thunderbird before 3.0.7 and 3.1.x before 3.1.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.7 do not properly restrict use of the type attribute of an OBJECT element to set a document's charset, which allows remote attackers to bypass cross-site scripting (XSS) protection mechanisms via UTF-7 encoding.
