Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:1 gk]:
 > The SVG filter attack got fixed in Fx22
 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711043) and testing the PoC
 for the link repainting attack to extract browsing history
 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=884270) indicates it does
 not work against TBB based on ESR24.

 Well, that was wrong the PoC works both against Tor Browser based on ESR24
 and ESR31 provided one is leaving private browsing mode.
