Subject: [WSG] Firefox and vulnerabilities?
http://www.enterpriseitplanet.com/security/news/article.php/3503751
Sorry if OT!
The Mozilla Foundation is aware of two potentially critical Firefox
security vulnerabilities as reported publicly Saturday, May 7th. There
are currently no known active exploits of these vulnerabilities
although a proof of concept has been reported. Changes to the
Mozilla Update web service have been made to mitigate the risk of an
exploit. Mozilla is aggressively working to provide a more
comprehensive solution to these potential vulnerabilities and will
provide that solution in a forthcoming security update. Users can
further protect themselves today by temporarily disabling JavaScript.
