Opera and Mozilla Firefox have released security updates for a number of vulnerabilities in their browsers.
Mozilla update fixes 13 vulnerabilities in Firefox 2.0.0.15, four of which are critical and could be remotely exploited to install malicious software on a user’s machine.
Meanwhile, Opera version 9.51 was released to plug a number of security holes, according to the SANS Internet Storm Center. One of the patches fixes a bug that could have allowed arbitrary code execution.
Mozilla, fresh off the widely publicized release of Firefox 3, also announced it would end support for its sophomore browser version in December.
Firefox 3 which was released on June 17 has set a Guinness World Record after more than eight million copies were downloaded in first 24 hours of its release. The new browser touts enhanced malware and phishing protection.
