I recently realised that quite a few of you are firefox users when I posted the info on the bug for versions 1.02 and earlier. Well, two more bugs have been released, this time with a "extremly critical" rating...
So my fellow firefox users, its back to the Mozilla site for an update...
(second in 2 weeks for me... and I complained IE's one a month was alot...)

Alert over 'extremely critical' Firefox flaws

Two vulnerabilities in the popular Firefox browser have been rated "extremely critical" because exploit code is now available to take advantage of them.

The cross-site scripting and remote system access flaws were discovered in Firefox version 1.0.3, but other versions may also be affected, said security company Secunia, which issued the ratings on Sunday.
 
No actual record of the exploit being used yet (other than to demonstrate) - just a hypothetical, but good advice from Spinal to update.
 
Yeah, but (IMHO) the reason that no-one was discovered using the exploit was the code for it wasn't public domain. Now millions of script kiddies world-wide can download a new tool for their ****nal...
