Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.18, Thunderbird before 3.1.11, and SeaMonkey through 2.0.14 do not distinguish between cookies for two domain names that differ only in a trailing dot, which allows remote web servers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via Set-Cookie headers.
