Mozilla Firefox Patches
September 2006, IDG News Service — New Firefox fix patches security bugs.
Mozilla developers have released an updated version of their Firefox browser
that fixes a number of security issues, four of them rated critical.
The update was released late Thursday, September 14, and Firefox users
should receive the 1.5.0.7 patches via the browser's automatic update system
over the next few days, according to Mozilla. Research firm Secunia rates the
flaws as "highly critical," saying that they can be exploited to "conduct
man−in−the−middle, spoofing and cross−site scripting attacks,
and potentially compromise a user's system," according to an alert.
