Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox version 1.8

Description The issue allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by querying the browser's session history. This is due to the CheckLoadURI function listing the about: URI as a ChromeProtocol, which can be loaded via JavaScript.

Recommendations For Mozilla Firefox version 1.8, consider disabling the CheckLoadURI function or restricting JavaScript access to the about: URI as a temporary workaround until a patch is available.
