Description

Certain versions of Mozilla Firefox do not properly handle images that are dragged from the browser to the desktop. As a result, a malicious web site can include a specially-crafted image containing arbitrary code that can later be executed when double-clicked by the user.

Solution(s)

  • mozilla-firefox-upgrade-1_0_1
  • mozilla-firefox-upgrade-latest
