Description

When an inner window is reused, it does not consider the use of document.domain for cross-origin protections. If pages on different subdomains ever cooperatively use document.domain, then either page can abuse this to inject script into arbitrary pages on the other subdomain, even those that did not use document.domain to relax their origin security. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and Thunderbird < 60.8.

Affected products

• Debian Linux: 8.0
• Mozilla Firefox: before 60.8.0; before 68.0 — fixed in 60.8.0, 68.0
• Mozilla Thunderbird: before 60.8.0 — fixed in 60.8.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Mozilla Firefox 60.8.0, 68.0; Mozilla Thunderbird 60.8.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
