CVE-2010-3171 Information

Description

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 \temporary footprint\ and an \in-session phishing attack.\ NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2008-5913.
