Hi, This is a security advisory for those who are trying out Firefox 3.5. A highly critical security vulnerability has been detected in the TraceMonkey javascript engine. It that allows intruders to hijack the browser, when users visit sites containing the exploit code. The exploit code is published on milw0rm malware site - and it could spread.
The exploit is based on the just-in-time (JIT) compilation feature of the new javascript engine. Mozilla security blog recommends that users disable the JIT feature for the time being, until a fix is released (FF 3.5.1. Remember to re-enable JIT after the update). This however doesn't affect versions older than 3.5. For details on the bug and temporary fix, visit Mozilla security blog: http://blog.mozilla.com/security/2009/07/14/critical-javascript-vulnerability-in-firefox-35/ Regards, Gokul Das --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ "Freedom is the only law".
