CVE-2009-5017: XSS
First published: Fri Nov 12 2010(Updated: )
Mozilla Firefox before 3.6 Beta 3 does not properly handle overlong UTF-8 encoding, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass cross-site scripting (XSS) protection mechanisms via a crafted string, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-1210.
