Mozilla Update Fixes Firefox, Thunderbird Security Flaws
Published March 2nd, 2007 in Browser Security, Firefox
Mozilla has released an update to its Firefox browser, fixing a number of security flaws in the 
product. The Firefox 2.0.0.2 release includes a fix for a bug disclosed by security researcher Michal Zalewsky last week. That flaw can be exploited by attackers to manipulate cookie information in the Firefox browser, making it probably the most important fix in the update, according to Window Snyder, Mozilla’s head of security strategy. "The potential to compromise a user’s account is almost as serious as compromising their machine," she said Friday via instant message.
"Since the details of how to exploit the vulnerability are publicly available the risk to users is increased." Mozilla Update Fixes Firefox, Thunderbird Security Flaws - Security Feed - News - CSO Magazine
