Ran across it in the Dartmouth IRIA news summaries yesterday. It's
scrolled off. It appears to affect the core of Mozilla so it affects
FireFox as well. It should appear in the CERT advisories.
It appears Mozilla is getting more attention from crackers now that
it is starting to command a noticeable market share. It's a matter of
time before more serious items appear. Of course, without things like
ActiveX it's a little harder to mash a Linux machine than a Windows
machine.
