Alexander Sotirov of Determina Inc said that Mozilla’s internet browser, Firefox 2.0 is also vulnerable with the recent news about the animated cursor flaw. He had notified Microsoft about this flaw last December. Yesterday, he posted a demonstration about a hijack which involves PCs that use Firefox.

“It turns out that Firefox uses the same vulnerable Windows component to process .ani files, which can be exploited in a way similar to Internet Explorer,” said Sotirov

When an attack occurs on Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7, the attackers will have the capability of accessing all files in the system.

Mozilla has not yet made a comment about this news.
