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 3.x before 3.0.5 and 2.x before 2.0.0.19, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.19, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.14 allows remote attackers to bypass the same origin policy by causing the browser to issue an XMLHttpRequest to an attacker-controlled resource that uses a 302 redirect to a resource in a different domain, then reading content from the response, aka "response disclosure."
