Ooops!

It must be said that most mass software deployments never run without a hitch. It seems that Firefox is no exception.

Within five hours of release, a critical flaw was found in Firefox 3 according to Tipping Point’s Zero Day Initiative. Tipping Point’s DVLabs identified an issue which was immediately report to Mozilla.

The flaw is believed to allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code although no specifi have been announce.

Mozilla is believed to be working on a patch to plug the hole, which, interestingly, also applies to Firefox 2.
