Hi,

Firefox 2.0.0.18 fixes a cross-domain theft of image data. Firefox

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.
