A Russian security researcher on Thursday said he has released attack code that exploits a critical vulnerability in the latest version of Mozilla’s Firefox browser.
The exploit – which allows attackers to remotely execute malicious code on end user PCs – triggers a heap corruption vulnerability in the popular open-source browser, said Evgeny Legerov, founder of Moscow-based Intevydis. He recently added it as a module to Vulndisco, an add-on to the Immunity Canvas automated exploitation system sold to security professionals.
