Vulnerability Insight:
Information disclosure though Windows file shares and shortcut files

shortcut files (.lnk) in the same share. These shortcut files could then link to
arbitrary locations on the local file system of the individual loading the HTML
page. That page could show the contents of these linked files or directories
from the local file system in an iframe, causing information disclosure.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 13.

Solution:
The vendor has released an update. Please see the reference(s) for more information.
