Neil P Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Well, after a recent batch of security fixes, we're about to see new releases that incorporate them:Checkins to the MOZILLA_1_7_2_BRANCH. The same checkins are in the FIREFOX_0_9_3_BRANCH.Bugs fixed:Bug 253121 - lock icon and certificates spoofable with onunload document.writeBug 250906 - null (%00) in filename fakes extension (ftp, file)Bug 249004 - Importing false CA certificate leading to error -8182 (perm DoS), especially exploitable by emailBug 251381 - new libpng buffer overflow vulnerabilities (no longer security-sensitive, now open to public)I don't know why they're waiting to release it, they might be waiting on one or two more patches (total guess on my part).[edit]Small Update:Look for these releases on August 4th (I've got an inside tip ): <Jesse> i expect 1.7.2 to come out on august 4 <steeler_fan|afk> August 4? <steeler_fan|afk> waiting for something?<Jesse> steeler_fan|afk: yep<steeler_fan|afk> fair enough "Jesse" is Jesse Ruderman, who does the Burning Edge, and is interning at IBM this summer (to work on Mozilla for them)[edit2]Changed bonsai links so they'll actually show checkins at later dates (show checkins "since the beginning of time" rather than "in the last week") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
