Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. Mozilla Firefox before 27.0 does not properly restrict access to about:home buttons by script on other pages, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (session restore) via a crafted web site.
