Mozilla released Firefox 74.0.1 and Firefox ESR 68.6.1 earlier to address two critical vulnerabilities actively abused in the wild that could lead to remote code execution on vulnerable machines.
The two security flaws fixed today could potentially allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or trigger crashes on machines running vulnerable Firefox versions.
As Mozilla's security advisory
says, the Firefox developers "are aware of targeted attacks in the wild abusing" these two vulnerabilities with a Critical severity rating.
The Firefox and Firefox ESR zero-day flaws fixed by Mozilla today were reported by
Francisco Alonso working with
Javier Marcos of
JMP Security.
