vulnerability as referenced in the mfsa2010-05 advisory.
- Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x before 3.0.18 and 3.5.x before 3.5.8, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.3, does not properly
support the application/octet-stream content type as a protection mechanism against execution of web
script in certain circumstances involving SVG and the EMBED element, which allows remote attackers to
bypass the Same Origin Policy and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via an embedded SVG document.
(CVE-2010-0162)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
