FireFox 3 sets world record, FireFox 2 patched...

Mozilla on Tuesday posted Firefox 2.0.0.15, an update to its web browser that resolves several vulnerabilities, ranging from several benign problems, to critical bug fixes related to arbitrary code execution and remote control of a user's system. Among the major fixes are MFSA 2008-21, 2008-24, 2008-25, and 2008-33, which resolve crashes when memory is corrupted, Chrome script loading vulnerabilities, arbitrary code execution in a .loadSubScript() command, as well as crashing and remote code execution.

XiP Filesystem Primps For Linux 2.6.28

nerdyH writes "The Linux-Embedded discussion list has been abuzz the last two days over a flash filesystem designed to support binary code execution (sometimes called XIP, or "execute-in-place"). When combined with forthcoming "Phase Change Memory" products from Intel/ST JV Numonyx, the "Advanced XiP Filesystem" (AXFS) could radically change Linux systems of all kinds, replacing Flash, hard drives, and even DRAM with a single chunk of low-cost, non-volatile memory that can both store files and serve as a platform for program execution."

Visual C++ Thread Debugging

The great difficulty in thread debugging is the lack of predictability and certainty in application behaviour. For a single-threaded application that is given the same application input, the behaviour will be the same for every execution, which makes tracking down unexpected behaviour quite easy. For a multi-threaded application, behaviour can be different even if user input is constant, because the order in which threads are scheduled for execution will vary each time the application is executed, potentially causing a much wider range of possible behaviours for the same input.

Military Spends $4.4M To Supersize Net Monitoring

coondoggie writes "Bigger, better, faster, more are the driving themes behind the advanced network monitoring technology BBN Technologies is building for the military. The high-tech firm got a $.4.4 million contract today from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop novel, scalable attack detection algorithms; a flexible and expandable architecture for implementing and deploying the algorithms; and an execution environment for traffic inspection and algorithm execution.The network monitoring systems is being developed under DARPA's Scalable Network Monitoring program which seeks to bolt down network security in the face of cyber attacks that have grown more subtle and sophisticated."

Firefox 3.0.1 Fixes 'Carpet Bombing' Issue

An anonymous reader writes "Firefox 3.0.1 was released today. It fixes 3 security vulnerabilities, including a critical issue reported by Billy Rios, Ben Turner, and Dan Veditz. The issue could be combined with an issue in Apple's Safari browser to read data from the user's disk or to execute arbitrary code. This issue was previously discussed on Slashdot. The release also fixes a remote code execution bug involving the CSS reference counter, reported by the Zero-Day Initiative (previously discussed on Slashdot here), as well as a Mac-only potential code execution bug involving GIF image rendering, reported by Drew Yao of Apple Product Security."

Mozilla Gets Set To Add Extra Zip To JavaScript Execution In Firefox--It's A Big Deal

Unless you've discretely shut it off in your browser (and most likely you haven't) you're running JavaScript scripts all the time as you web surf. They're delivered with the rest of the code on a webpage and executed on your computer. That's why it's called a client-side programing language--you, the client, run it.
