Firefox 2.0.0.5 Released

By | July 18, 2007


So I was surfing the internet today and got a pleasant notice about an installed update. That’s right, Firefox 2.0.0.5 was just released.

According to Mozilla.org, Firefox 2.0.0.5 fixes the following vulnerabilities:

  • XPCNativeWrapper pollution
  • Unauthorized access to wyciwyg:// documents
  • Remote code execution by launching Firefox from Internet Explorer
  • File type confusion due to %00 in name
  • Privilege escallation using an event handler attached to an element not in the document
  • Frame spoofing while window is loading
  • XSS using addEventListener and setTimeout
  • Crashes with evidence of memory corruption

Release notes.

And by the way, I love the way how Firefox is being updated.
