      Mozilla Firefox Window Spoofing (Firespoofing)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    Using JavaScript it is possible to spoof the content of security and
    download dialogs by partly covering them with a popup window. This can
    fool a user to download and automatically execute a file (if a file
    extension association exists) or to grant a script local data access (if
    codebase principals are enabled).

    DETAILS

    Affected Software:
     * Mozilla Firefox version 1.0
     * Mozilla version 1.7.5
     * Netscape version 7.1

    All under Windows XP SP2

    Expected Behavior:
    Modal dialogs should always be on top and it should not be possible to
    obfuscate their appearance.

    Vendor Status:
    The bug is confirmed but currently unfixed (open for more than 3 months).
    As a partial workaround set dom.disable_window_flip to true in
    about:config. The vendor failed to respond to multiple status requests
    which led to this public disclosure.

    2004-09-20 Vendor informed (bugzilla.mozilla.org #260560)
    2004-09-20 Vendor confirmed bug
    2004-10-20 Status request (open for 1 month - no reply)
    2005-01-03 Status request (open for 3 months - no reply)
    2005-01-07 Status request (disclosure warning - no reply)
    2005-01-11 Public disclosure

    Exploit:
    The PoC is designed for Firefox 1.0 running in a maximized window.

    Part 1 - download dialog spoofing
    Shows how to cover a download dialog and fool the user to execute a file
    with a standard windows file association (in this case a .ht file). BTW,
    remember the latest .ht buffer overflow...

    Part 2 - security dialog spoofing
    Shows how to cover a security dialog. Make sure codebase principals are
    enabled (not default but encouraged by many XUL sites). Creates the file
    c:\booom.txt to proof local system access.
