TechWeb | News | Mozilla Patches Firefox, But Site Suffers Brief Outage: "By
Gregg Keizer, TechWeb News"
Mozilla's browsers have been patched against a half dozen or more vulnerabilities, the open-source group responsible for producing the popular Firefox and the older Mozilla suite said late last week.
The Mozilla.org site was offline and unavailable for nearly two hours Monday, but at the time of this posting, it was back up and running.
Firefox updated to 1.0.3 and Mozilla to 1.7.7 on Friday, both updates essentially security fixes that plugged nine and six vulnerabilities, respectively. The most substantial vulnerability was a bug in the JavaScript engine's memory heap management, which was first reported earlier this month.
