Attack code that exploits a privacy information leak introduced in the latest version of Firefox is available online, making it easy for malicious websites to gather detailed information about users' browsing history unless they downgrade to the previous Mozilla release.

As previously reported, Mozilla officials took the unusual step of temporarily removing Firefox 16 on Wednesday, just one day after it's release. Company officials warned that a security hole introduced in the release "could allow a malicious site to potentially determine which websites users have visited and have access to the URL or URL parameters." They went on to say there was no evidence the vulnerability was being exploited by real-world attackers.

Issue:
Mozilla is aware of a security vulnerability in the current release version of Firefox (version 16). We are actively working on a fix and plan to ship updates tomorrow. Firefox version 15 is unaffected.

Impact:
The vulnerability could allow a malicious site to potentially determine which websites users have visited and have access to the URL or URL parameters. At this time we have no indication that this vulnerability is currently being exploited in the wild.

Status:
Firefox 16 has been temporarily removed from the current installer page and users will automatically be upgraded to the new version as soon as it becomes available. As a precaution, users can downgrade to version 15.0.1 by following these instructions [»www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/]. Alternatively, users can wait until our patches are issued and automatically applied to address the vulnerability.

There is always 10%....cold pizza for you then..was going to have the fox raid the coop and have free range eggs with tofu and non gluten rice cakes. :o bring your own java.

Let's just hope Mozilla can release the 16.0.1 patch tomorrow without any new issues!

It says 15.01 but when you get to choices, it only gives you 16.0

Just stick with v15.0.1 ..will be fixed shortly.

A quick inquiry points to a "security" issue, so you can be sure that FF is going to have a 16.0.1 too.

Heh.

"This is a tracking bug for Build and Release of SeaMonkey 2.13.1 We expect an actual release on Friday 12 October."

»bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=800217

And while we're here, SeaMonkey 2.13 has also been released.

And it too is not yet available through automatic updates - but for different reasons (waiting till after MS's "Tuesday" updates).
(What did you say, it's Wednesday already. Ah, well.)
