Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 35.0 Firefox ESR versions prior to 31.4 Thunderbird versions prior to 31.4 SeaMonkey versions prior to 2.32

Description The issue arises from the improper interpretation of Set-Cookie headers within responses that have a 407 status code, allowing remote HTTP proxy servers to conduct session fixation attacks.

For Thunderbird versions prior to 31.4, update to version 31.4 or later. For SeaMonkey versions prior to 2.32, update to version 2.32 or later.
