Description
Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.16 and 3.6.x before 3.6.13, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.11, does not properly calculate index values for certain child content in a XUL tree, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a DIV element within a treechildren element.
