| The team over at Firefox released version 2.0.0.5 earlier today patching 8 security holes and fixing several bugs in the Firefox browser. These security fixes included some that would simply crash the browser along with one that allows remote code execution and one that allows privilege escalation. According to my favorite security gurus over at the Internet Storm Center, one of these exploits is launched from Internet Explorer where IE calls the URL handler and provides the path to add additional options that lead to increased scripting rights inside of Firefox.
Reports have been surfacing all week about the gaining popularity of Firefox as statistics show it taking huge bites out of Internet Explorer’s market share. As the browser gains more market share, I am sure we will see more and more exploits becoming available at a more rapid pace. For now though, Firefox still tops my chart as the internet browser of choice. |
