Firefox fix due next week after attack is published

Poor, poor Firefox...

 

This is part of the reason that I run my internet facing applications with Sandboxie.

Thanks ronjor!

 

New version of Firefox already out with the exploit patched up. I dont know about you but I am almost thinking that they are faster than Microsoft at fixing their stuff.

 

I already installed latest version.
That seems to be pretty quick.

 

Hi, Just a side note. Do you think Geswall would be equally qualified to stop the mentioned attack as well as Sandboxie? I realize Geswall isn't a sandbox but they claim to be capable to stop everything your AV etc. misses. I have been checking Geswall out and am contemplating giving it a try. Thanks

 

I would guess that any of the sandbox programs would work. If you still using OA or another HIPS, it should also alert to something trying to run.

From the article:

Also, if you look at the comments in ronjor's link, one of them states that NoScript should protect you. I have no idea if the default settings protect.

 

OK thanks for the info. I guess I'm covered.

 

Please forgive a possibly stupid question, but is the 3.1B3 also patched? I haven't noticed any update since I installed it.
TIA

 

Thanks, ronjor.
