Firefox 2.0.0.10 – Security update released
Filed Under Linux, news, Windows | Leave a Comment
This update is strongly recommended.
It fixes following security flaws:
MFSA 2007-39 Referer-spoofing via window.location race condition
MFSA 2007-38 Memory corruption vulnerabilities (rv:1.8.1.10)
MFSA 2007-37 jar: URI scheme XSS hazard
But this is not all….
When restarting Firefox to apply the update I was surprised with the message that I cannot install the update because I’m not an owner of the file or do not have administrative privileges…..
After several retries I realized that there is another user logged on my PC and it was using Firefox 🙁 after closing this extra copy update was installed and now I use latest version.
