Thanks for the news.. Right now I'm using 39.0.3
SourceA recent blog post by Mozilla security head Daniel Veditz outlined a particularly malicious exploit that was found embedded in an advertisement on a Russian news site. The exploit, first discovered by a Firefox user, could sift through your local files and upload them to a Ukranian server, all without you knowing.
The vulnerability relied on exploiting Firefox's integrated PDF reader and, therefore, those versions which do not include the feature - the mobile version of the browser - were not affected. While the exploit did not include the execution of external code, it did allow for potentially violating users' privacy by searching through their personal files and uploading them to an external server. Additionally, once the payload was executed, all traces of the exploit were removed.
I'm on 41 (Aurora,) is there any word about beta, and aurora being affected?
Firefox 39.0.3 Released today - Windows 10 Forums
Maybe if someone would read what I post they would be informed..??:)
I'm already on Version 40.0+.
For an exploit to be active, someone would have to target you specifically.
Is anyone here that important? I doubt that I am.
