  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web       page or email, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a       Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able       to perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks, obtain sensitive information,       bypass restrictions and protection mechanisms, force file downloads,       conduct XML injection attacks, conduct XSS attacks, bypass the Same       Origin Policy, spoof URL&rsquo;s for phishing attacks, trigger a vertical       scroll, spoof the location bar, spoof an SSL indicator, modify the       browser&rsquo;s font, conduct clickjacking attacks, or have other unspecified       impact.
    A local attacker could gain escalated privileges, obtain sensitive       information, or replace an arbitrary downloaded file.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
