Description
The nsCSPHostSrc::permits function in dom/security/nsCSPUtils.cpp in Mozilla Firefox before 40.0 does not implement the Content Security Policy Level 2 exceptions for the blob, data, and filesystem URL schemes during wildcard source-expression matching, which might make it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by leveraging unexpected policy-enforcement behavior.
Affected configurations
• mozilla firefox (<= 39.0.3)
• canonical ubuntu linux 12.04
• canonical ubuntu linux 14.04
• canonical ubuntu linux 15.04
• opensuse opensuse 13.1
• opensuse opensuse 13.2
• oracle solaris 11.3
