CWE-310  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:13.04 firefox to version 22.0+build1-0ubuntu0.13.04.1 or higher.

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:13.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) display algorithm in Mozilla Firefox before 22.0 does not properly handle the .com, .name, and .net top-level domains, which allows remote attackers to spoof the address bar via unspecified homograph characters.
