New Firefox Version Fixes 8 Security Holes
Published December 22nd, 2006 in All Categories, Exploits & Vulnerabilities, Firefox, Security
Mozilla on Tuesday released updates to fix at least eight security vulnerabilities in its Firefox Web 
browser and related software. Five of the eight flaws received a "critical" label, meaning that an attacker could exploit them to break into machines running vulnerable versions of the software.
Patches are available for both the 1.5.x and 2.x versions of Firefox, each of which should automatically alert you when the updates are ready for installation. Users also can install updates by clicking on "Help" then "Check for Updates." Some of the same updates also are available Mozilla’s Thunderbird e-mail client, and its Seamonkey Internet suite.
