Hi,

Firefox 2.0.0.18 <http://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 <http://evil.org> hosts a redirector, e.g. 
evil.org/redir <http://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.
