Description

Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.17 and 3.6.x before 3.6.14, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.12, does not properly handle certain recursive eval calls, which makes it easier for remote attackers to force a user to respond positively to a dialog question, as demonstrated by a question about granting privileges.

Affected products

Mozilla Firefox: through 3.5.16; 3.6, 3.6.2, 3.6.3, 3.6.4, 3.6.6, 3.6.7 (+94)
Mozilla Seamonkey: through 2.0.11; 1.0, 1.0-alpha, 1.0-beta, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3 (+49)
