Mozilla users warned--upgrade now

Published on ZDNet News: April 19, 2006, 8:11 AM PT

Users have been urged to upgrade to the latest versions of Mozilla's software to protect themselves from a series of critical security holes.

The Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) warned on Monday that earlier versions of Firefox, and other Mozilla software based on Firefox code, contain a clutch of vulnerabilities that expose users to attack.

The Mozilla Foundation released a new version of Firefox last week, version 1.5.0.2, which it said contained fixes for several security flaws.

According to security firm Secunia, there are a total of 21 flaws in the older versions of Firefox, such as Firefox 1.5, some of which it described as critical.

Shocked

I'd checked for a Thunderbird update when I updated Firefox, but there was none. Today Thunderbird popped up a message that there's an update out. I fixes a whole slew of security holes!

Version 1.5.0.2 is the latest, at least for Windows. I think they have an update for all OSs.
