Mozilla/Firefox Bug Allows Arbitrary Program Execution

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the no-one's-perfect dept.

treefort writes "An article at eWeek has the lowdown. The article also has a link to the bug report which addressed this issue some time ago. Still, I feel safer using Firefox since malicious persons are much more unlikely to target any vulnerabilites. Note that this only affects users of Mozilla and Firefox on Windows XP or Windows 2000." New releases are already available on mozilla.org that fix this. Update: 07/09 00:41 GMT by CN : I removed the bum link to Bugzilla, since I guess they don't like us. Also I discovered that OSDN's own NewsForge has more on the situation.

    O MG how I am laughing at you. Yes YOU. You wanker who thinks just because something is "Open Source" that it is made of magical fucking pixie dust and will automatically be secure.

    And never mind the fact that most IE exploits have a patch available before they're publicised, while this Moz/FF bug is fucking 2 years old...

    OMG I am laughing my fucking ass off.
    How does it feel to have your whole pretense fucking collapse around you? To know that no-one will ever pay attention to you just-so stories ever again? Pretty bad I think so I just can't help sending you a bit of schadenfreude.

    ps. How many mod points you got left, son? It doesn't cost me anything to repost. I know you don't like what I say, but you lack the power to do anything about it! Sorry!
