Firefox 3.5.1 released. Buffer overflow exploit fixed.

Those of you using Firefox, Firefox 3.5.1 was released on the 16th July. Among the issues fixed is the buffer overflow exploit present in the JIT Javascript compiler. See the exploit in action on milw0rm here.

In related news, it appears milw0rm is back from the dead, after facing an uncertain future:

Well, this is my goodbye header for milw0rm. I wish I had the time I did in the past to post exploits, I just don't :(. For the past 3 months I have actually done a pretty crappy job of getting peoples work out fast enough to be proud of, 0 to 72 hours (taking off weekends) isn't fair to the authors on this site. I appreciate and thank everyone for their support in the past.
Be safe, /str0ke

I guess the news spread pretty quick, and before long the server was down from the sheer number of hits. Back to normal now though it seems. Yay.
