It’s that time again. The Mozilla foundation has just released the latest installment of everyone’s favorite feral web browser, Mozilla Firefox. The following are the release notes from mozilla.org:
[SIZE=3]Release Notes[/SIZE]
Firefox 1.0.7 is a security and stability release. We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to this latest version. This version includes several security and stability fixes, including a fix for a reported buffer overflow vulnerability and a fix for a Linux shell command vulnerability.
Specific changes in Firefox 1.0.7
[ul]
[li] Fix for a potential buffer overflow vulnerability when loading a hostname with all soft-hyphens
[/li] [li] Fix to prevent URLs passed from external programs from being parsed by the shell (Linux only)
[/li] [li] Fix to prevent a crash when loading a Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) script that uses an “eval” statement
[/li] [li] Fix to restore InstallTrigger.getVersion() for Extension authors
[/li] [li] Other stability and security fixes
[/li][/ul]
You can grab the 1.0.7 in the usual locale, or there’s always the 1.5.1 beta1 release for the adventurous.
