CVE-2005-0232

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Firefox version 1.0

Description The issue allows remote attackers to modify Boolean configuration parameters for the about:config site by using a plugin such as Flash, and the -moz-opacity filter, to display the about:config site then cause the user to double-click at a certain screen position, also known as "Fireflashing."

Recommendations For Firefox version 1.0, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the use of plugins such as Flash until a patch is available. Restrict access to the about:config site to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the -moz-opacity filter in web pages until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
