Description:
Juan Pablo Lopez Yacubian has discovered a security issue in Mozilla Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to display a fake URL in the address bar.
The security issue is caused due to an error when opening a new window for a malformed domain. This can be exploited to display an arbitrary URL in the address bar of a child window by issuing a "window.open()" call with a domain containing e.g. "%20" characters.
The security issue is confirmed in version 3.0.12 and 3.5.1. Other versions may also be affected.
