Mozilla and Opera fix security flaws

by Robert Vamosi

On Thursday, Opera released version 9.51. The new version fixes a few security vulnerabilities and resolves some stability issues. One of the fixes addresses an arbitrary code execution vulnerability that was not previously made public.

Meanwhile, Mozilla released Firefox 2.0.15 with a dozen security fixes, including a few remote-execution vulnerabilities.

Current Firefox 2 users should, however, upgrade to Firefox 3, which includes antimalware protection and other security features.

As CNET's resident security expert, Robert Vamosi has been interviewed on the BBC, CNN, MSNBC, and other outlets to share his knowledge about the latest online threats and to offer advice on personal and corporate security.
