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."

    Are you seriously asking this question?

    Are you at all surprised that, here on /., security vulnerabilities in MS products are always much more severe and worthy of ridicule than those in open source products?
