Mozilla Firefox GeckoActiveXObject Exception Message COM Object Enumeration Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
CVE Identifier: CVE-2009-3987
Advisory Date: FEB 15, 2011
DESCRIPTION
The GeckoActiveXObject function in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.16
and 3.5.x before 3.5.6, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.1, generates different
exception messages depending on whether the referenced COM object is listed in
the registry, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive
information about installed software by making multiple calls that specify the
ProgID values of different COM objects.
