HTTP: Mozilla Firefox Web Browser Compartment Mismatch Re-attaching XBL-backed Nodes
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Mozilla Firefox Web Browser. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
Extended Description
Mozilla Firefox before 24.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.9, Thunderbird before 24.0, Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.9, and SeaMonkey before 2.21 do not properly handle movement of XBL-backed nodes between documents, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (JavaScript compartment mismatch, or assertion failure and application exit) via a crafted web site.
