HTTP: Mozilla FireFox Hidden Frame Overlay
This signature detects the download of a malicious Shockwave Flash file. When viewed in a Mozilla FireFox browser, the file displays the "about:config" page in an attempt to trick the client into modifying browser settings.
Extended Description
A remote configuration manipulation vulnerability affects Mozilla Firefox. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly secure sensitive configuration scripts from being activated by remote attackers. An attacker may leverage this issue to alter an unsuspecting user's configuration settings; this may lead to a false sense of security as sensitive settings may be manipulated without the user's knowledge.
