OT Firefox security leak: bogus or genuine?



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

The BBC website is now carrying a story about an alleged security
vulnerability of Firefox.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4532127.stm
I checked on the "From other news sites" section of the article for
possible sources and found this.
http://software.silicon.com/security/0,39024655,39130254,00.htm
I sound want to sound overly suspicious but the silicon article is
straddled by a big advert for Windows XP SP2. The article also says,
"Mozilla has changed its update web service and advises people to
temporarily disable JavaScript.".
I've just has a look around the Mozilla Firefox site and can't find
anything about it; not even in the firefox forums where you'd expect it
to feature prominently.
Has anyone heard anything about this?
Cheers,
Jonathan
