web browsers -- window injection vulnerabilities

Description:

A Secunia Research advisory reports:

    Secunia Research has reported a vulnerability in multiple browsers,
which can be exploited by malicious people to spoof the content of
websites.

    The problem is that a website can inject content into another site's
window if the target name of the window is known. This can e.g. be
exploited by a malicious website to spoof the content of a pop-up window
opened on a trusted website.

    Secunia has constructed a test, which can be used to check if your
browser is affected by this issue:

A workaround for Mozilla-based browsers is available.
