Description: A vulnerability was reported in Mozilla Firefox. A remote user can bypass cross-site scripting protections.
A remote user can create a specially crafted HTML that, when loaded by a target user, will modify the 'src' attribute of an HTML
'img' element within a frame to a 'javascript:' URI and bypass cross-site scripting protections, potentially allowing arbitrary
scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the target site and will run in the security
context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies),
if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on
the site acting as the target user.
