Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 37.0 Firefox ESR versions 31.x prior to 31.6 Thunderbird versions prior to 31.6

Description The issue allows a remote attacker to bypass the Same Origin Policy and execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges via vectors involving anchor navigation.
