Title: More good news, new firefox flaw, but this time its not critical
Post by: Gary on Dec 04, 2007, 16:00:41
Just for fun "A security issue in Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

The security issue is caused due to embedded iframes inheriting the charset of parent frames when the charset is set manually. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of certain sites that are included via iframes in a malicious page."

And of course its unpatched. http://secunia.com/advisories/27907/
