Mozilla patches critical Firefox bug

Mozilla has shipped an urgent Firefox security update to fix a vulnerability that exposes web surfers to malicious hacker attacks. The vulnerability causes a browser crash that may be exploitable to launch code execution attacks. The company rated the vulnerability as "critical," its highest threat ranking.

Mozilla updated not only Firefox, but also Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release), the new edition for enterprises that the company kicked off last month.

The open-source group said Firefox 9 and earlier browser versions are not affected by this vulnerability. Users running Firefox 10 will be automatically offered the 10.0.1 upgrade, or they can trigger it by selecting "About Firefox" from the Help menu in Windows, or under the Firefox in Mac OS X.
