To All You Mozila Users Out There

February 8th, 2006 · No Comments

Trackbacked at basil’s blog:

Several vulnerabilities have been reported in the Mozilla web browser and derived products. More detailed information here.

Mozilla-based products fail to validate user input to the attribute name in “XULDocument.persist”

The most severe impact of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the affected application. Other impacts include a denial of service or local information disclosure.

Upgrade to Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.1 or SeaMonkey 1.0. For Mozilla-based products that have no updates available, users are strongly encouraged to disable JavaScript.
