| mozilla-liveconnect-unauthorized-access (41458) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Multiple Mozilla products, including Firefox and SeaMonkey could allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to the system. The origin content passed from the browser to the Java plugin is assumed to originate from a local file, allowing a connection to the local system. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using LiveConnect to gain unauthorized access to arbitrary ports on the victim's system.
