Directory traversal vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.19 and 3.6.x before 3.6.17, Thunderbird before 3.1.10, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.14 on Windows allows remote attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files, and possibly load resources, via vectors involving a resource: URL.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
