Mozilla on Friday released a security and stability update for it’s Firefox web browser. This update fixes two critical security issues present in Firefox 3.0.7 and Mozilla recommends all Firefox users to upgrade to this latest release, that is Firefox 3.0.8.

Firefox 3.0.8

The first security fix is related to arbitrary code execution through XUL tree element. This vulnerability could lead to browser crash when attempting to access a previously destroyed object, which ultimately could be used by an attacker to run arbitrary code on the victim’s computer. Note that this vulnerability only affects Firefox 3.X and does not affect Firefox 2, Thunderbird 2, or released versions of SeaMonkey.

The second security fix addresses the XSL transformation vulnerability, in which a XSL stylesheet could be used to crash the browser during a XSL transformation. The crash could potentially be used by an attacker to run arbitrary code on the victim’s computer.
