## Description

Firefox before 1.0.5 and Mozilla before 1.7.9 does not clearly associate a
Javascript dialog box with the web page that generated it, which allows
remote attackers to spoof a dialog box from a trusted site and facilitates
phishing attacks, aka the "Dialog Origin Spoofing Vulnerability."
