Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling embed or object tags. When a file download is specified via the Content-Disposition header, that directive would be ignored if the file was included via a <embed> or <object> tag, potentially making a website vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack.
Remediation
Install updates from vendor's website.
