Firefox Users Urged to Patch Critical Browser Flaw

by Justin Erickson

Mozilla has released an urgent update for Firefox addressing a critical sandbox escape vulnerability on Windows systems. Mozilla didn’t release any technical details regarding this flaw, but said that it is reportedly similar to a recent Chrome zero-day and could allow malicious actors to bypass the browser’s sandbox, as well as achieve remote code execution. If you are a Firefox user on Windows, it is advised that you update to versions 136.0.4, 128.8.1 (ESR), or 115.21.1 (ESR) as soon as possible. If you are a Chrome user, update to version 134.0.6998.178 if your browser has not already automatically updated.
