An old security bug provides a way to crash Firefox 2.0, security researchers have discovered. The memory corruption vulnerability involving the handling of JavaScript code has been known about since June 2006 and Firefox version 1.5.0.7 was supposed to fix the problem.
…and not to be outdone.
In other browser security news, security notification firm Secunia has published details of another bug involving IE7. In default configuration, IE7 is vulnerable to a Window Injection vulnerability that previously hit IE6.
It’s a shame that old bugs are new again.
