Mozilla bit 6 Firefox vulnerabilities

Yesterday (4/2) Mozilla has upgraded Firefox to version 3.0.6 to overcome a series of new security bugs discovered in version 3.0.5.

Specifically, according to the official announcement from Mozilla, this phase has a total of 6 security bugs fixed. There is an error that is classified as 'extremely dangerous', two errors at 'high risk' (high), a 'medium' error (moderate) and two errors at 'low' (low).

Mozilla claims the 'extremely dangerous' error is an error that can be exploited by hackers to gain the right to execute malicious code on a user's PC. ' This error can be exploited to cause Firefox to hang up because of a buffer overflow to help conditional hackers run the binary on the system .'

The remaining errors include XSS intermittent attack errors, information stealing errors directly on user PCs and errors related to web page rendering in the browser.

The 'average' error is in fact a bug that has been fixed by Mozilla in November 2008. However, until now the company has discovered another method of exploiting the error, so it must continue to overcome. But because the complexity is so high in the attack method, even though it can be exploited to execute malicious code on a user's PC, it is still ranked only on average.

Mozilla also warned Firefox 2 users to pay attention. The browser also made a similar error to the bug fixed in Firefox 3.0 this time. But Firefox 2 does not have a fix because the official support for this browser version has ended since mid-December 2008.

Mozilla encourages users to quickly upgrade to Firefox 3.0. Users can download this version here.
