Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cryptographic Issues. The Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) display algorithm in Mozilla Firefox before 22.0 does not properly handle the .com, .name, and .net top-level domains, which allows remote attackers to spoof the address bar via unspecified homograph characters.
