Security Hole in Mozilla
Last week security forums reported a hole in the Mozilla browser that makes it possible for attackers to launch unauthorized applications or crash computers. Click http://secunia.com/advisories/12027/ to download a patch for this.
Just thought you Mozilla users would like to know.

But if computer users take CERT'* recommendations to heart and switch to another browser, it'* likely that attackers will also switch targets and start digging out exploits for those browsers. After all, back in the 90s when Netscape had a large share of the browser market, we were always reading about exploits affecting it.
