Firefox hack attack warning

August 17, 2008 - 3:26PM


Several security holes have been discovered in Firefox and other software
from Mozilla.

The Thunderbird e-mail program and the Seamonkey program suite have also
been affected.

Users should update their software as soon as possible once patches become
available, recommends the German Federal Agency for Security in Information
Technology (BSI) in Bonn.

The warning applies to Firefox versions prior to 2.0.0.16 and 3.0.1 as well
as to Seamonkey. In the latter case, any version prior to 1.1.11 is
vulnerable to hacker attacks.

Those who do not receive automated updates can download them manually at
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox or http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases.

No update is available as yet for Thunderbird, which is affected in all
versions prior to 2.0.0.16.
