CVE-2008-4066

Publication date 24 September 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.14, and other versions before 2.0.0.17, allows remote attackers to bypass cross-site scripting (XSS) protection mechanisms and conduct XSS attacks via HTML-escaped low surrogate characters that are ignored by the HTML parser, as demonstrated by a “jav&#56325ascript” sequence, aka “HTML escaped low surrogates bug.”

No maintained releases are affected by this CVE.
