To fix two critical security vulnerabilities, Mozilla today have released an all important security update for Firefox.

The first security flaw could allow an attacker to compromise a box by crashing the browser to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability is titled “Arbitrary code execution via XUL tree element”.

The second vulnerability, “XSL Transformation vulnerability”, is where attackers can run arbitrary code caused by browser crashes during XSL style sheet transformation.

Existing Firefox installations will be updated automatically.

For more information, check out the Security Advisories for Firefox 3.0.
