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 2.0.0.15 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.10 do not properly identify the context of Windows shortcut files, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted web site for which the user has previously saved a shortcut.
