Description:
An older vulnerability has apparently resurfaced in Mozilla, Opera and Netscape, which allows malicious websites to execute arbitrary JavaScript and possibly Java in the context of other sites.
The problem is that it is possible to create a JavaScript function, which will open a different website and execute code in this site's security context.
Solution:
Mozilla 1.7.2, Netscape 7.2, and Opera 7.54 are not affected.
