Mozilla First To Patch Pwn2Own Browser Vulnerability

Posted by Soulskill on from the comparatively-quick dept.

Constantine the Less writes "Mozilla has released Firefox 3.0.8 to fix a pair of code execution holes that put users of the browser at risk of drive-by download attacks. It includes a fix for one of the flaws exploited during this year's CanSecWest Pwn2Own hacker contest. The update also fixes a separate zero-day flaw disclosed earlier this week on a public exploit site. Both issues are rated 'critical,' Mozilla's highest severity rating."

    and I finally used that good-for-only-one-month coupon that I got last year for a free oil change on my car yesterday.

    if it's not still day zero, don't call it a zero-day flaw.
