Mozilla fixes Firefox and Thunderbird bugs
http://www.vnunet.com:80/vnunet/news/2171326/mozilla-issues-security

The Mozilla Foundation has released a batch of patches for its Firefox and Thunderbird software.

Patches have been released for Firefox 1.5.0.9, Firefox 2.0.0.1 and Thunderbird 1.5.0.9 and are being sent out over the next few days. Eight holes, five of them rated 'critical', have been patched in the new Firefox browser.

Seven flaws, six of them rated 'critical', have been fixed in the group's Thunderbird software. They include mail header processing problems and crashes with evidence of memory corruption.

1. So Microsoft isn't the only one with patches?

4. Bugfixes are a fact of life with software
The issues are how secure was the initial release and how fast do they issue the fixes once a vulnerability is identified.

Patch (really!). It's appropriate, because I work in software.
