CVE-2004-1753: Mozilla Firefox

Low severity, CVSS 2.6. EPSS: 1.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Apple Java plugin, as used in Netscape 7.1 and 7.2, Mozilla 1.7.2, and Firefox 0.9.3 on MacOS X 10.3.5, when tabbed browsing is enabled, does not properly handle SetWindow(NULL) calls, which allows Java applets from one tab to draw to other tabs and facilitates phishing attacks that spoof tabs.

Affected products

• Mozilla Firefox: version 0.9.3 only
• Mozilla Mozilla: version 1.7.2 only
• Netscape Navigator: version 7.1 only; version 7.2 only
