Brief from my Twitter:The effect is exposing any location, incl your browsing history(about:cache etc) 04:54 AM October 05, 2008 from web Workaround: Do not use Firefox to open HTM/HTML - not from RAR package, not from remote Windows share folder, not from local, etc. 04:36 AM October 05, 2008 from web
Some details from my blog: * Also works on Firefox 3.0.3 * Also works on Firefox 3.0.2 ...For Firefox, location is wrong when dot URL shortcut is launched by HTML elements. Slightly variant from CVE-2008-2810 which is about command line and only fixed in that perspective.
