Mozilla Issues Fix For Firefox Zero-Day Bug
An anonymous reader writes: Thursday night Mozilla released a Firefox security patch after finding a serious vulnerability that allows malicious attackers to upload files from a user's computer. The update was released about 24 hours after Mozilla learned of the flaw. In a blog post, Mozilla said, "a Firefox user informed us that an advertisement on a news site in Russia was serving a Firefox exploit that searched for sensitive files and uploaded them to a server that appears to be in Ukraine. This morning Mozilla released security updates that fix the vulnerability. All Firefox users are urged to update to Firefox 39.0.3. The fix has also been shipped in Firefox ESR 38.1.1."
Wow troll, hi. Now, What makes you think that having the ability to look at a program's source code makes it better?, Well, the believe that open source software is better has proven to be just a lie, simply as that. Almost nobody but the project's member look at the code and they are no better that those that code for a paycheck. I'm not saying open source is worse, but definitely is there's no reason why i'd be better, if the project is run consciously and the developers are well trained the product will be, most likely good, either it is open source or closed.
