DESCRIPTION:
5up3rh3i has discovered a vulnerability in the Firebug extension for
Mozilla Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the HTML parser
when handling certain script code and can be exploited to e.g.
execute arbitrary script code within the "chrome:" context by
tricking a user into visiting a malicious website and viewing the
HTML output via the Net panel.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.7.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not visit untrusted websites when using the extension.
