The Math.random function in the JavaScript implementation in Mozilla
Firefox 3.5.10 through 3.5.11, 3.6.4 through 3.6.8, and 4.0 Beta1 uses a
random number generator that is seeded only once per document object, which
makes it easier for remote attackers to track a user, or trick a user into
acting upon a spoofed pop-up message, by calculating the seed value,
related to a βtemporary footprintβ and an βin-session phishing attack.β
NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for
CVE-2008-5913.
