Hello All,

Updates are available for vulnerabilities in many Mozilla products,
released today.

Firefox 1.0 and 1.5 suffer from nearly a dozen "highly critical"
security flaws, with the worst issues potentially opening up remote
access to your computer from a site visited in a 'restricted' nature,
even if scripting is disabled globally or for the specific site. Update
now:
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
(the direct update for windows is about 750kb)

Some of these vulnerabilities also apply to other Mozilla suite
applications, including Mozilla and Thunderbird. I do not believe an
update is currently available for Thunderbird.
http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/
http://www.mozilla.org/products/mozilla1.x/

Most of these vulnerabilities are exploitable under each Windows, Linux
and Mac OSX distributions.

WARNING: This update disables Venkman! If you use the javascript
debugging tool, Venkman, this update will disable it until a new build
of Venkman is released (it is not labelled with 1.5.0.1 compatibility
within the current distribution). This is unlikely to take very long,
but you should be aware of the potential to effect your development.

If you ONLY use Firefox for design work on YOUR OWN sites, you may be
safe in postponing updates until a revision of Venkman is released.

If you use Firefox (or any other Mozilla product) for your primary
browser or email client, I highly recommend you update now.

Regards,
