CVE-2013-1709: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2013-1709: Mozilla Firefox before 23.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.8, Thunderbird before 17.0.8, Thunderbird ESR 17....

Mozilla Firefox before 23.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.8, Thunderbird before 17.0.8, Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.8, and SeaMonkey before 2.20 do not properly handle the interaction between FRAME elements and history, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via vectors involving spoofing a relative location in a previously visited document.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-1709 is an old Mozilla browser and mail-client issue that could let a malicious site perform cross-site scripting by abusing frame and history handling. The named fixed versions are Firefox 23.0, Firefox ESR 17.0.8, Thunderbird 17.0.8, Thunderbird ESR 17.0.8, and SeaMonkey 2.20. Exposure is most likely in legacy endpoints or servers still running Mozilla Firefox, Firefox ESR, Thunderbird, Thunderbird ESR, or SeaMonkey versions older than the fixed releases named in the CVE. Modern maintained installations should already be beyond these versions. Prioritize if legacy Mozilla software remains in the estate, especially on systems that browse untrusted sites or process external HTML content. For fully patched modern environments, business urgency is low to moderate, focused on confirming absence of obsolete software. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox to 23.0 or later where applicable.; Upgrade Firefox ESR 17.x to 17.0.8 or later.; Upgrade Thunderbird and Thunderbird ESR to 17.0.8 or later..
