Unpatched 67% (8 of 12 Secunia advisories)
The most severe unpatched Secunia advisory affecting Mozilla Firefox 2.0.x, with all vendor patches applied, is rated Highly critical
未対策の 8 つの脆弱性のうち、最近の 4 つだけを挙げておく。
- Mozilla Firefox / Seamonkey "resource://" Information Disclosure
- Solution: Visit trusted sites only.
- Firefox "OnKeyDown" Event Focus Weakness
- Solution: Disable JavaScript support. Do not enter file names to form fields on untrusted web sites.
- Firefox "firefoxurl" URI Handler Registration Vulnerability
- Firefox "wyciwyg://" Handler Vulnerability
- Solution: Do not browse untrusted web sites.
67% が未対策というとんでもなく酷い数値を、IE 7 の Unpatched 54% (7 of 13 Secunia advisories) よりも劣っていると一部の blog のように騒ぎ立てる気はないが、早い対応を誇る Mozilla だけに早急にこれら全てに対するパッチが出回ると良いなあ。
