Mozilla releases patches for Firefox
Mozilla has released patches for both versions 2.0 and 3.0 of the Firefox web browser. The updates patch two security vulnerabilities that have been rated as "critical" by Mozilla, including a variant of a vulnerability that could be exploited to do what has been termed as a "carpet bombing" attack. The second patch fixes the way Firefox handles references to CSS objects, which can be exploited to force a crash that can lead to malicious code being executed. A third patch resolves a security hole that applies only to Firefox 3.0 running on the Mac OS X, which was discovered by a security engineer at Apple.
Mozilla took the opportunity to issue a reminder that Firefox 2.0 will only be supported with security updates until mid-December. Users are encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 3.0.
