Update for Firefox

Madrid, October 5 2004 - The Mozilla Foundation has released an update for the Firefox browser to fix a serious security problem.

The corrected vulnerability could allow an attacker to delete files from the download directory of the affected computer. User interaction is needed to exploit this security problem. Although there are still no known cases of attacks exploiting this problem, the Mozilla Foundation advises users to install the update as a precaution.

The latest version of Firefox that corrects the vulnerability is version 0.10.1. Users can check the version of their browser through the options ´Help´ - ´About Mozilla Firefox´.

Users with versions prior to 0.10.1 can download the latest version from: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/index.html
A specific patch can also be downloaded from: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/0.10.1/patches/25970
