New Firefox Fixes Holes - 10 security issues
New Firefox Fixes Holes - 10 security issues

Officials at the open source Mozilla Foundation released an update for the Firefox browser Tuesday.

Firefox 1.0.5 is the first update to the popular alternative browser since May 11, when the organization fixed three critical bugs to the Mozilla Update Web service. Firefox 1.0.4 was rushed out the door days after two of the flaws were published by an outfit called the Greyhats Security Group.

Chris Hofmann, Mozilla director of engineering, said the update addresses 10 security issues discovered in the Firefox code, as well as stability fixes to the browser. He said all the security vulnerabilities, which range from moderate to high to two that are "borderline critical," have no known exploits.
