Description:
Paul has discovered a vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to missing URI handler validation when dragging an image with a "javascript:" URL to the address bar of another window. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an arbitrary site by tricking a user into dragging an image to the address bar.

This is similar to vulnerability 2 in:
SA14160

The vulnerability has been confirmed in versions 1.0.4 and 1.0.7, and has also been reported in versions 1.0 and 1.0.1. Other versions may also be affected.
