I installed Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3 earlier today and then later on just for the fun of it I decided to check to see if the vulnerability still effected me... strangly it does...
I was wondering if anyone else with Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3 is still being effected. link is below.

I think Firefox should have followed IE's lead in making the content area sunken into the browser window. It allows you to tell whether something is part of the browser window or not regardless of whether anything is spoofed.

I haven't tried Firefox 0.9.3 yet, but it has been fixed in the nightly branch build I'm using since August 03.

As far as I'm concerned, I can find no evidence to say that this was supposed to be in 0.9.3 at all... unless you can give a source which directly quotes a developer stating that, please stop spreading rubbish about a "messed up" release. Four security bugs were fixed with 0.9.3, and if you check the thread already linked, you'll see why I don't even consider this an exploit.
Kasteo, I'd be interested to know what build you're using, since I can't think of a fix for this at all, short of forcing the legitimate statusbar to display for XUL content (i.e. prevent popups disabling it), nor can I find any checkins or bugfixes to indicate that any change has been made in relation to this "bug" at all. |
