CVE-2012-1961: Input Validation
First published: Wed Jul 18 2012(Updated: )
Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 13.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.6, Thunderbird 5.0 through 13.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.6, and SeaMonkey before 2.11 do not properly handle duplicate values in X-Frame-Options headers, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct clickjacking attacks via a FRAME element referencing a web site that produces these duplicate values.
