How to fix?

Upgrade mozilla to version 5.0.1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.23 and 4.x through 5, Thunderbird before 6.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.3 do not properly handle "location" as the name of a frame, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted web site, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0170.
