Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox versions 4.x through 6 SeaMonkey versions prior to 2.4

Description The issue arises from the JSSubScriptLoader not properly handling XPCNativeWrappers during calls to the loadSubScript method in an add-on. This makes it easier for remote attackers to gain privileges via a crafted web site that leverages certain unwrapping behavior.

Recommendations For Mozilla Firefox versions 4.x through 6, consider disabling add-ons that utilize the loadSubScript method until a patch is available. For SeaMonkey versions prior to 2.4, restrict access to the loadSubScript method in add-ons to minimize the risk of exploitation.
