Vulnerability Insight:
Spoofing and script injection through location.hash

location.hash can be used in concert with scripted history
navigation to cause a specific website to be loaded into the history object. The
baseURI can then be changed to this stored site, allowing an attacker to inject
a script or intercept posted data posted to a location specified with a relative
path.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 16.

Solution:
The vendor has released an update. Please see the reference(s) for more information.
