Unspecified vulnerability in the session-restore feature in Mozilla Firefox 3.x before 3.0.5 and 2.x before 2.0.0.19 allows remote attackers to bypass the same origin policy, inject content into documents associated with other domains, and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via unknown vectors related to restoration of SessionStore data.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Mozilla Firefox session-restore flaw. A malicious site could bypass browser same-origin protections, inject content into pages from other domains, and cause cross-site scripting. The sources do not provide CVSS scoring, detailed vectors, or evidence of current exploitation. Exposure is most plausible on legacy desktops, kiosks, embedded images, or unsupported Linux builds still running affected Firefox versions or downstream packages from 2008-2009. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item, not an emergency, unless affected browsers still exist in production or regulated environments. Unsupported browsers create broader risk beyond this single CVE. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox to at least 3.0.5 or 2.0.0.19 where applicable.; Prefer replacing obsolete Firefox branches with a currently supported browser.; Apply relevant downstream vendor updates from Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, Mandriva, or Sun..
