The Mozilla Dev. team had planned to release Firefox Security update v3.6.2 at the end of this month first, but a critical security hole that allows remote attackers to access and control one computer made the Developer team to release this update today. The exploit is discovered by Evgeny Legerov and Secunia rated it as highly critical.
The Updated version (3.6.2) of Mozilla Firefox is all-ready released and is available at Mozilla Firefox home page, plus it is also available in Firefox Web-browser’s automatic update section.
The Developer team asked Firefox users to update their browser to the latest version, to avoid their systems being hacked or remotely accessed by attackers.
Bugzilla lists 111 bugs that have been fixed in Firefox 3.6.2 of which 21 have been classified as critical by the Mozilla developers. The recently reported security vulnerability is not the only security vulnerability fixed in the latest Firefox release. Firefox users should look at the known issues section in the release notes to make sure that they do not run into problems after updating their web browser.
