Description:
A weakness has been reported in Mozilla, allowing malicious people to conduct phishing attacks.
The weakness is caused due to an error within the handling of URLs. This can be exploited to potentially trick users into supplying sensitive information to a malicious web site, because information displayed in the address bar can be constructed in a certain way, which may lead users to believe that they're visiting another web site than the displayed web site.
Example:
http://[trusted_site]%2F%20%20%20.[malicious_site]/
Successful exploitation requires that a malicious web site's domain supports wildcard DNS and accepts invalid values in the "Host:" header.
The weakness has been confirmed in Mozilla 1.6 and 1.7rc3 for Windows and Firefox 0.8 and 0.9rc for Windows. Other versions may also be affected.
