Mozilla Firefox Scrollbar Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Reportedly a remote code execution vulnerability affects Mozilla Firefox. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly restrict the access rights of Web content.

An attacker may leverage this issue to compromise security of the affected browser; by exploiting this issue along with others (BIDs 12465 and 12466) it is possible to execute arbitrary code.

It should be noted that although only version 1.0 is reported vulnerable, other versions may be vulnerable as well.
