NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream thunderbird package and not the thunderbird package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The Web Developer Toolbar in Mozilla Firefox before 17.0 executes script with chrome privileges, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted string.
