Mozllia fixes a flaw in Firefox, and before it's public

click on one of our sponsors! OR REMOVE ADS
Anandtech is reporting on a flaw that Mozilla has already released a fix for in Firefox well before the flaw is known to the public.
Security flaws suck, but they are worse when they are well know to the public and we have to wait for God knows how long before the software maker *cough*M$*cough* finally gets a patch out that fixes it.

Quote:
The flaw relates to some legacy Netscape code that handles GIF images and could allow a hacker to run malicious code from a carefully crafted gif image.


You can update by going to mozilla.com or by using the update feature in FF itself
