Mozilla warns over Firefox Trojan
« on: October 27, 2010, 12:16 »
Mozilla has warned about a critical zero-day vulnerability affecting Firefox 3.5 and Firefox 3.6 users.

“We have received reports from several security research firms that have found exploit code leveraging this vulnerability in the wild,” Mozilla said on its security blog.
