Detects the second security error in Firefox 2

Information about a new security flaw can cause Firefox 2 to crash recently. This is the second security bug discovered in this new version of open source web browser.

The Mozilla representative confirmed and said that this security error stems from the way JavaScript handles the browser code. If access to a web page containing Javascript programmatically programmed into one, Firefox 2 could be suspended and deactivated.

However, Mozilla representatives also dismissed information posted on a number of secure email lists that suggested a new security bug in Firefox 2 could be used to execute binary code on systems that make mistakes. .

Javascript Range security error has been the second security error discovered in Firefox version 2. Last week, Mozilla also confirmed information about another DoS security error in the browser. But that is an error related to a serious security error in previous versions of Firefox. This error has been fixed.

So, less than a week since the official launch of the user, there have been two security bugs discovered in Firefox 2. ' Those are just minor errors ,' Mozilla said.

IE 7 also struggled

Firefox 2's rivals have not escaped the same situation. Recently Microsoft also had to confirm a pop-up security error that could be exploited to attack phishing in Internet Explorer 7. However, not only does IE 7 make this error, but also IE 6, Firefox 1.5 and 2 are must be this error. Microsoft confirmed that the default configuration of IE 7 fixed this error.

Security firm Secunia said IE 7 also suffers from at least two other security flaws, but Microsoft dismissed that information. The developer thinks it's a security flaw in Outlook Express, not IE.

The launch of Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2 kicked off a new race in the community of software bug hunters. But so far there has not been any security error that can help hackers kidnap users' PCs discovered in the two new browser versions mentioned above.
