If your not yet over this months Windows updates. Heres another: Since 40% of our audience uses FireFox as a browswer I thought it pertinent to post: DO YOUR UDPATES OR REINSTALL WINDOWS. National Cyber Alert System Technical Cyber Security Alert TA07-199A Mozilla Updates for Multiple Vulnerabilities Original release date: July 18, 2007 Last revised: -- Source: US-CERT Systems Affected * Mozilla Firefox * Mozilla Thunderbird Other products based on Mozilla components may also be affected. Overview The Mozilla web browser and derived products contain several vulnerabilities, the most severe of which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected system. I. Description Mozilla has released new versions of Firefox and Thunderbird to address several vulnerabilities. Further details about these vulnerabilities are available from Mozilla and the Vulnerability Notes Database. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to view a specially-crafted HTML document, such as a web page or an HTML email message. II. Impact While the impacts of the individual vulnerabilities vary, the most severe could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. An attacker may also be able to cause a denial of service or obtain private information. III. Solution Upgrade These vulnerabilities are addressed in Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.5 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.5. Disable JavaScript Some of these vulnerabilities can be mitigated by disabling JavaScript or using the NoScript extension. For more information about configuring Firefox, please see the Securing Your Web Browser document. Thunderbird disables JavaScript and Java by default. IV.
