Bugs in Firefox, Chrome, Edge Allow Remote System Hijacking

Major browsers get an update to fix separate bugs that both allow for remote attacks that could potentially allow hackers to takeover targeted devices. The Mozilla Firefox vulnerability (CVE-2020-16044) is separate from a bug reported in Google s browser engine Chromium, which is used in the Google Chrome browser and Microsoft’s latest version of its Edge browser. The bug is tied to the way Firefox handles browser cookies and if exploited allows hackers to gain access to the computer, phone or tablet running the browser software.
