## Description

Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4, 2.0.x before 2.0.0.8, Mozilla Suite 1.7.13,
Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.0.2 and other versions before 1.1.5, and Netscape 8.1
and earlier allow user-assisted remote attackers to read arbitrary files by
tricking a user into typing the characters of the target filename in a text
box and using the OnKeyDown, OnKeyPress, and OnKeyUp Javascript keystroke
events to change the focus and cause those characters to be inserted into a
file upload input control, which can then upload the file when the user
submits the form.
