Immediate protection from this vulnerability is available as part of Radware’s Security Update Service (SUS), which seeks to safeguard customer infrastructures in advance of public disclosure of the flaw.
"We recognize that Mozilla has continued to invest significantly in security features for Firefox 3; however we were able to easily detect this vulnerability through a simple fuzzing technique,” said Itzik Kotler, Security Operation Center Manager, Radware. “This clearly shows that zero-minute vulnerabilities are still aggressively in the public domain, making it increasingly more evident that security requirements must stay top-of-mind when developing and releasing new networked applications.”
