Description:
Michal Zalewski has discovered a weakness in Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct phishing attacks.
The weakness is caused due to Firefox allowing scripts to open a tab with a blank address bar and add arbitrary content to it. This can further be exploited to spoof the user interface, including setting the title to an arbitrary value.
The weakness is confirmed in version 2.0.0.1. Other versions may also be affected.
Do you have this product installed on your home computer? Scan using the free Personal Software Inspector. Check if a vulnerable version is installed on computers in your corporate network, using the Network Software Inspector.
Solution:
Update to version 2.0.0.4 or later.
