Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 5, Thunderbird before 6, SeaMonkey 2.x before 2.3, and possibly other products, when the Direct2D (aka D2D) API is used on Windows, allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy, and obtain sensitive image data from a different domain, by inserting this data into a canvas.
