Mozilla patches three critical Firefox flaws
Closed Published February 12th, 2008 in Browser Security, Exploits & Vulnerabilities, Firefox, Mozilla
Mozilla issued 10 patches on Friday for its Firefox browser, including three for critical vulnerabilities. The latest version of Firefox is now 2.0.0.12. One of the critical vulnerabilities, MFSA 2008-06, is a problem in the way the browser handles images on certain Web pages.
It’s possible to exploit the flaw to steal a person’s Web browsing history, forward that information and then crash the browser. It may also be possible to run arbitrary code on a machine, Mozilla said. A second critical vulnerability can enable a privilege escalation attack or remote code execution.
