Strange, as I was reading this message, I decided to see what version I have, and ver. 3.02 is downloading itself, as I type this!

kudos:1 | Just a FYI, at the Vulnerabilities Fixed, the links (e.g., "MFSA 2008-45) have more detailed descriptions -- IMHO looks like CNET basically used the same descriptions.  |

Firefox 3.0.3 required and underway From mozilla.dev.planning

Subject: Firefox 3.0.3 required and underway
Hey everyone,
Shortly after releasing Firefox 3.0.2 our QA and Support teams began seeing reports of problems certain users were having with the Firefox Password Manager. This was being caused by non-ASCII data (in domains, logins or passwords) saved as something other than UTF-8 failing to convert back to Unicode (see bug 454708) which was a regression from a fix to make the Password Manager work on IDN sites with characters over U+0100 (see bug 451155).
The symptom is that users who have password data stores with non-ASCII data saved as something other than UTF-8 (more common for people who have saved passwords on IDN domains or non en-US domains) will not be able to access their saved passwords or create any new saved passwords. There is no permanent dataloss, the saved data is just inaccessible. While this doesn't affect all Firefox users, it is a significant regression and has triggered a fast-release Firefox 3.0.3 which will contain a single fix for this issue. Once released, this will restore the functionality for all users.
The fix has been landed and tested, and builds are coming out and being delivered to QA today. We hope to be releasing updates on the beta channel by early next week and issuing a release soon thereafter.
cheers,
mike |

Re: Firefox 3.0.2 Released quote:
Mozilla developer Paul Nickerson reported a variant of a click-hijacking vulnerability discovered in Internet Explorer by Liu Die Yu. The vulnerability allowed an attacker to move the content window while the mouse was being clicked, causing an item to be dragged rather than clicked-on. This issue could potentially be used to force a user to download a file or perform other drag-and-drop actions.
Am I the only one that finds some of the vulnerability scenarios these days to be a stretch to the point that they're funny?

kudos:1 | Indeed it's good to patch up all of these holes, but also this means that when reading stats on number of discovered vulnerabilities, one needs to keep in mind the severity of those discovered too.... Being able to fool someone into dragging their mouse is not quite the same as a drive-by download and execution vulnerability.
