Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. The DOMParser component in Mozilla Firefox before 15.0, Thunderbird before 15.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.12 loads subresources during parsing of text/html data within an extension, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by providing crafted data to privileged extension code.
