Developers at the Mozilla Foundation have confirmed a security flaw in the latest version of their Web browsers that could theoretically allow attackers to crash computers or launch unauthorized programs. This is the first exploit found for Mozilla.
The flaw only affects Windows users, not users of the browser on Macintosh or Linux platforms. A fix has been provided and new versions of all the browsers are out.
