CVE-2006-2783

Publication date 2 June 2006

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Unknown

Why this priority?

Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird before 1.5.0.4 strip the Unicode Byte-order-Mark (BOM) from a UTF-8 page before the page is passed to the parser, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a BOM sequence in the middle of a dangerous tag such as SCRIPT.
