Got a link? My sources don't seem to mention anything current. One of

Exploit discovered about 10 days ago. broad-based problem -- not just
with Mozilla stuff. complicated timing-issue exploit by a malicious web-site.

_Already_fixed_ in FireFox 1.0.4, and Mozilla 1.7.8. out within _days_
of the vulnerability announcement.


That's the one I figured it was, so "nothing current" was it. It's
wonderful (and not surprising) how fast the vulnerabilities in
open-source software are fixed. Nothing like a team of motivated geeks
to get the job done right, and right now.
