CVE-2008-5913
CVSS v2.0
4.9
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Mozilla Firefox versions 3.5.x through 3.5.9
Mozilla Firefox versions 3.6.x through 3.6.3
SeaMonkey versions prior to 2.0.5
Description
The issue concerns the Math.random function in the JavaScript implementation, which uses a random number generator seeded only once per browser session. This makes it easier for remote attackers to track a user or trick a user into acting upon a spoofed pop-up message by calculating the seed value. This is related to a temporary footprint and an in-session phishing attack.
Recommendations
For Mozilla Firefox versions 3.5.x through 3.5.9, update to version 3.5.10 or later.
For Mozilla Firefox versions 3.6.x through 3.6.3, update to version 3.6.4 or later.
For SeaMonkey versions prior to 2.0.5, update to version 2.0.5 or later.
