Security hole found in Mozilla browser

http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105_2-5262676.html

Developers at the open-source Mozilla Foundation have confirmed that the latest version of their Web browsers have a security flaw that could theoretically allow attackers to crash computers or launch unauthorized programs.

The flaw was publicized Wednesday on a security mailing list, along with a link to a fix for the problem . Updated versions of the affected software programs, which include the Mozilla, Firefox and Thunderbird browsers, have been released.

Developers said the flaw affected only Windows users, not computers running either the Macintosh or Linux operating systems.

Earlier today, when I opened Firefox, an alert screen came up. The post above has a direct link to the patch on the Mozilla Web Site.
