How to fix?

Upgrade mozilla to version 2.0.0.12 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. Gecko-based browsers, including Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.12 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.8, modify the .href property of stylesheet DOM nodes to the final URI of a 302 redirect, which might allow remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and read sensitive information from the original URL, such as with Single-Signon systems.
