Impact

===== A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web page or email, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service condition. Further, a remote attacker could conduct XSS attacks, spoof URLs, bypass address space layout randomization, conduct clickjacking attacks, obtain potentially sensitive information, bypass access restrictions, modify the local filesystem, or conduct other unspecified attacks.
