Following the discovery of 10 flaws , Mozilla has released the patch, Firefox 1.0.5 , a security update fixing several vulnerabilities that have popped up since the last minor upgrade two months ago . Mozilla has been testing 1.0.5 through many blogs such as QA testing blog for Firefox. "This is a collection of security bug fixes and stability improvements," said Chris Hofmann, Mozilla's director of engineering. "We're also trying to anticipate some potential security problems with this update by patching vulnerabilities that alone aren't that significant, but might be used together to create an exploit. Most of them involve quite a bit of user interaction." The update also includes improvements to make Firefox more stable, Mozilla said in its online posting. However, last month, Secunia announced that most browsers, including the then-current Firefox 1.0.4, were vulnerable to a JavaScript spoofing error that could let attackers steal passwords and other confidential data. However, a Mozilla spokesperson said that 1.0.5 fixed the problem. Later on this week, we should be seeing an update to Thunderbird as well as the Mozilla Suite.
