Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Mozilla Firefox. A remote user can conduct cross-domain scripting attacks.
When an SVG document served with 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' is embedded into another document via an <embed> tag with 'type="image/svg+xml"', the Content-Type value is ignored. On websites that allow users to upload arbitrary binary data and that use the 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' header to prevent script execution, a remote user may be able to bypass this protection and cause scripting code to be executed in a different domain.
Georgi Guninski reported this vulnerability.
