Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 3.0.16 Mozilla Firefox versions 3.5.x prior to 3.5.6 SeaMonkey versions prior to 2.0.1

Description The issue allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information about installed software by making multiple calls that specify the ProgID values of different COM objects. This is due to the GeckoActiveXObject function generating different exception messages depending on whether the referenced COM object is listed in the registry.

Recommendations For Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 3.0.16, update to version 3.0.16 or later. For Mozilla Firefox versions 3.5.x prior to 3.5.6, update to version 3.5.6 or later. For SeaMonkey versions prior to 2.0.1, update to version 2.0.1 or later.
