Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox OS versions prior to 2.2
Description The issue is related to the lack of protection for system messages in Firefox OS, allowing attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information via a crafted app. This could enable a remote attacker to access protected information contained in system messages.
