Impact: Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data, Exposure of sensitive information, System access

There are new versions of Mozilla (1.7.3) and the Thunderbird mail client also (0.8). All browsers based on the Mozilla code prior to those mentioned are vulnerable, including Netscape 7 (no patches from Netscape yet).

Let's hope there aren't too many problems like these when Firefox gets to version 1.0...
