Cross-Tab Scripting Vulnerability in Apple Java Plugin

CVE-2004-1753 · LOW Severity

AV:N/AC:H/AU:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

The Apple Java plugin, as used in Netscape 7.1 and 7.2, Mozilla 1.7.2, and Firefox 0.9.3 on MacOS X 10.3.5, when tabbed browsing is enabled, does not properly handle SetWindow(NULL) calls, which allows Java applets from one tab to draw to other tabs and facilitates phishing attacks that spoof tabs.
