Firefox Flaw Demo Is Itself Flawed
Published October 5th, 2006 in All Categories, Exploits & Vulnerabilities, Firefox
One of two hackers who demonstrated a vulnerability in Mozilla Corp.’s Firefox at a hacker 
conference on Saturday has retracted claims that the bug could be exploited to hijack computers running the browser. In fact, the hacker’s demo may have been little more than a joke.
Mischa Spiegelmock and Andrew Wbeelsoi showed exploit code for a Firefox JavaScript vulnerability at the ToorCon hacker conference amid claims that they had nearly three dozen vulnerabilities they weren’t going to disclose. Mozilla immediately began investigating.
Monday, however, Spiegelmock forwarded a message to Mozilla that was posted on the company’s developer center.[tag]Firefox Flaw[/tag] Firefox Flaw Demo Is Itself Flawed - Technology News by TechWeb
