Madrid, June 28, 2007 – Sun has reported some vulnerabilities in Mozilla 1.7 for Solaris, which could be exploited by malicious users to compromise computers.
These vulnerabilities are caused by memory corruption errors. Hackers could use specially-crafted web pages or emails to exploit these flaws and crash the browsers of Mozilla users. The security advisory also indicates that malicious code could be run via Javascript, with the same privileges as the user being attacked.
Mozilla’s original advisory describes nine different memory corruption flaws. Sun is still developing a solution to this issue.
