Subject: Firelinking [Firefox 1.0.2]
__Notice
I really wonder why the Mozilla Foundation decided to release a serious
security update on a friday night and to disclose the link to my
proof-of-concept code so quickly. It wasn't intendet from my side to release
this as a 0day exploit. Please complain to security@...illa.org if you
disagree with their release policy.
__Summary
The link tag allows to load a custom image as the icon for a website,
displayed in the location bar and in the tab title.
By setting the href attribute of this tag to a javascript url, it is
possible to call chrome functions and run arbitrary code without user
interaction.
__Proof-of-Concept
http://www.mikx.de/firelinking/
__Status
The bug is fixed in Firefox 1.0.3. Disable Javascript as a workaround.
