On Thursday or early Friday, depending on how you look at it, Mozilla released Firefox 3.5.1 to address a vulnerability in the Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler. Now, there are confirmed reports of a second vulnerability, exploit code already published, which affects Firefox 3.5.1, and other versions could be vulnerable as well.


The vulnerability was reported to SecurityFocus (BID 35707) on July 15. This morning, a report from SANS Internet Storm Center, followed by an IBM ISS X-Force alert, confirmed that this vulnerability was confirmed present in Firefox 3.5.1.

it never ends. At least Mozilla find and patch these things pretty quickly.

They should start releasing patches to download and not full client installs every time...

They do... It's just a few hundred KB each time for an update.

Heya...

Just try Opera! Download 9.6 or give the 10 beta 2 a go. I switched from FF to the 10 beta and am absolutely smitten.

My favourite browser is MyIE2!

I have added the Mozilla Daily & Security PPAs to my Software Sources, the best way to get patched quickly, imo. Worked for me so far.
