Update your Firefox soon...
If you're a Firefox (or Thunderbird) user and you're not sure to update to the last releases (expecially for Firefox, the 1.0SR release number could appear not to be totally stable but it's not true), this fact can you change your ideas: Secunia (great people 
) has a new advisory about some buffer overflow exploits in the Mozilla and Thunderbird code.
What is curious is that one of these exploits takes advantage of a unchecked buffer in the bitmap parser, very similar to the recent Microsoft JPEG vulnerability discovered in these days. The good news is that if you have installed one of the last releases (Mozilla 1.7.3, Firefox 1.0PR, Thunderbird 0.8) you won't be affected by these explois! 
What are you waiting to update your browser?
