Hi, Firefox 2.0.0.18 fixes a cross-domain theft of image data. Firefox 3 unaffected. It's another interesting case where a redirector confuses the browser about the true origin of a piece of content. If evil.org hosts a redirector, e.g. evil.org/redir, and an image is loaded via this redirector, the image will be treated as a same-domain image. In this event, the image pixel data may easily be stolen by rendering the image to a canvas and using the getImageData() JavaScript API.
