NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Chrome Object Wrapper (COW) implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 34.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.31 supports native-interface passing, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended DOM object restrictions via a call to an unspecified method.
