Serious Vulnerability In Firefox 2.0.0.12

Posted by kdawson on from the that-was-quick dept.

Oh, Not Now writes "Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.12, mere hours old, is vulnerable by default to a directory traversal trick, via the view-source mechanism. Although mitigated by the NoScript plug-in, this is quite a serious bug — the default installation is vulnerable from the get-go."

    Microsoft "products" (software is not really a product anyway, that's a marketing lie) still don't work on my Linux system. Why should I give a fuck about them?
