Firefox
2.0.0.5 is out and this is mainly a security update. If you use firefox and we
know that majority or our readers does we advise you to update.
The
most severe one will fix the ability to execute Firefox remotely by code execution from Internet Explorer. This was a big one. The
second one fixes privilege escalation using an event handler attached to an
element not in the document.
The last critical one will fix crashes with
evidence of memory corruption. Two fixes marked as high will fix unauthorized
access to wyciwyg:// documents and XSS using addEventListener and setTimeout
bugs.
The last two fixes have low priority and
will fix the file type confusion due to %00 in name and Frame spoofing while
window is loading.
