http://secunia.com/advisories/24153/

CRITICAL:
Not critical

IMPACT:
Spoofing

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.x
http://secunia.com/product/12434/

DESCRIPTION:
Michal Zalewski has discovered a weakness in Firefox, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct phishing attacks.

The weakness is caused due to Firefox allowing scripts to open a tab
with a blank address bar and add arbitrary content to it. This can
further be exploited to spoof the user interface, including setting
the title to an arbitrary value.

The weakness is confirmed in version 2.0.0.1. Other versions may also
be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not browse untrusted sites.
