Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Restriction of Rendered UI Layers or Frames. The file-download implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 27.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.24 does not properly restrict the timing of button selections, which allows remote attackers to conduct clickjacking attacks, and trigger unintended launching of a downloaded file, via a crafted web site.
