The <a href="http://blog.mozilla.com/security/2009/07/14/critical-javascript-vulnerability-in-firefox-35/">vulnerability is nestled in the browser’s Just-in-time (JIT) JavaScript compiler</a> – part of the new TraceMonkey engine – and can be used to execute malicious code. Hackers may lure gullible Firefox 3.5 users to websites containing code meant to exploit the flaw. While Mozilla burns the midnight lamp in finding a solution, you can simply disable the JIT. However, it must be noted that disabling the JIT will have an adverse effect on JavaScript performance. </p> <div style="text-align: center"><img src="/files/u46168/firefox-president.gif" width="405" height="252" /></div> <p><em>Image Credit: FavBrowser </em></p> http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/mozilla_fesses_critical_vulnerability_firefox_35#comments News browser firefox 3.5 fix flaw hackers JavaScript jit malicious code Mozilla Software tracemonkey engine Wed, 15 Jul 2009 19:21:58 -0500 Pulkit Chandna 7031 at http://www.maximumpc.com
