## Description

Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x before 3.0.18, 3.5.x before 3.5.8, and 3.6.x before
3.6.2; Thunderbird before 3.0.2; and SeaMonkey before 2.0.3 allow remote
attackers to perform cross-origin keystroke capture, and possibly conduct
cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, by using the addEventListener and
setTimeout functions in conjunction with a wrapped object. NOTE: this
vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-3736.
