“In a bid to respond to a critical security vulnerability,
Mozilla has released a new version of its open source Firefox Web
browser ahead of schedule.

“Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux users, Firefox 3.6.2 had
originally been scheduled for release on March 30. But the browser
made its debut earlier than expected due to a critical flaw in
Firefox 3.6 that involves Firefox’s WOFF (Web Open File Format)
implementation, which is at risk from an integer overflow
condition.”
