This post over on 0x000000 talks about the newly released Firefox 2.0.0.12 being vulnerable to a security compromise, as reported by Slashdot in this article. The NoScript plugin (which you should be running, incidentally) helps with this problem, apparently.
There’s some disagreement between Ronald and the Mozilla developers as to whether this is in fact a problem, and if so, whether it’s a big one. So far, the discussions have not come to conclusion, but it’s another example of assessing risks before determining whether you should fix them, which I just wrote about. It’s funny how these things happen in groups.
