Security & Privacy

The Mozilla Foundation has issued a security update to the Firefox web browser, fixing 10 flaws, 5 of them deemed critical. The organization describes these flaws in their security bulletin:

Mozilla developers and community members identified and fixed several stability bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these crashes showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.

Update your version of Firefox using the program’s auto-update feature, or download the latest version here.
