Modzilla not so secure after all - Gwarsbane - 07-09-2004

Quote:p2pnet.net News:- Mozilla, Firefox and the Thunderbird e-mail/newsgroup client have a security hole affecting Windows browsers, the Mozilla Foundation confirms.
The fix means "explicitly disabling the use of the shell: external protocol handler," says Mozilla, and involves:
A small download which makes the configuration adjustment for users.
Installing new releases for Mozilla, Firefox and Thunderbird.
Linux or Macintosh users aren't affected.
Microsoft is a big target. So you have lots of people going after and finding exploits in Internet Explorer. But there are people out there still looking to exploit flaws in the other browsers out there.
