Patch & Workaround for Firefox Flaw Available

Posted by Zonk on from the plugging-the-holes dept.

mcc writes "Yesterday Slashdot reported on a Firefox vulnerability which could allow remote code execution. Today Firefox has a patch and a configuration workaround, both of which immunize against the bug. If you are using Firefox you should immediately go to the URL 'about:config', type 'network.enableIDN' into the box, and verify that 'network.enableIDN' is set to 'false'." Update: 09/10 18:59 GMT by Z : Removed wayward colon.
