4.3 MEDIUM — AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N

Description

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.12 and Thunderbird before 2.0.0.12 does not properly manage a delay timer used in confirmation dialogs, which might allow remote attackers to trick users into confirming an unsafe action, such as remote file execution, by using a timer to change the window focus, aka the "dialog refocus bug" or "ffclick2".

Affected configurations

• mozilla firefox (<= 2.0.0.11) • mozilla thunderbird (<= 2.0.0.11)
