Privilege escalation through SVG navigation

Post by Popeye »

Hi,

Just curious, did NoScript protect against this vulnerability, fixed in Firefox 36.0.4 ?

I can't get access to the Bugzilla page since it's protected, so I don't know whether Javascript must be enabled to exploit this SVG parser (?) flaw.

Yes, NoScript did protect against it.
The exploit requires JavaScript to be enabled on the attacker's page.
