Mozilla Patches Bug Used in Active Attacks

Mozilla has released a patch for a vulnerability in Firefox that was discovered when a user found it being actively exploited in the wild. The bug affects Firefox s PDF viewer and Mozilla officials said that the exploit being used by attackers right now looked for specific files on a targeted machine and uploads them to a remote server. Mozilla said the exploit goes after Windows, Linux, and Mac machines. It does not allow for remote code execution, though, though. The exploit may exist on other websites.
