Code execution vulnerability found in Firefox 3.0
Posted on June 19th, 2008 at 10:01 amIt’s not all about world records for Firefox 3.0.
Just hours after the official release of the latest refresh of Mozilla’s flagship browser, an unnamed researcher has sold a critical code execution vulnerability that puts millions of Firefox3.0 users at risk of PC takeover attacks.
According to a note from TippingPoint’s Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) , a company that buys exclusive rights to software vulnerability data, the Firefox 3.0 bug also affects earlier versions of Firefox 2.0x.
Technical details are being kept under wraps until Mozilla’s security team ships a patch.
