A new vulnerability has just been found in Firefox. The vulnerability, discovered by security researcher Guido Landi, was published on several security sites on Wednesday the 25th. The flaw could be used by an attacker to remotely execute code on a users machine using remote memory corruption after a user views a specially crafted malicious XML file.
A patch has already been created by the developers to be included in Firefox version 3.0.8, which has been deemed a "high-priority firedrill security update." According to Mozilla developer notes, the vulnerability seems to affect Firefox versions 3.0 to 3.0.7 on all operating systems, including Linux and Mac. Blake Kaplan, one of the developers, said that the bug is rather obvious "once you see it."
