Mozilla Addresses Multiple Vulnerabilities

Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, and derived products contain several vulnerabilities. By taking advantage of one or more of these vulnerabilities, an attacker may be able to take control of your computer.
Upgrade to the latest versions of Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey. Mozilla has released Firefox 1.5.0.9, Firefox 2.0.0.1, Thunderbird 1.5.0.9 and SeaMonkey 1.0.7 to correct these
problems. Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey automatically check for updates by default.
Security updates for Firefox 1.5 are scheduled to end in April 2007. According to Mozilla: Firefox 1.5.0.x will be maintained with security and stability updates until April 24, 2007. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 2.
