'I'm sure we?ll see a fix soon,' Rios said in a June 20 entry to his blog. Then, Rios said that Safari's 'carpet bomb' bug - first disclosed in May and patched in June by Apple - could be combined with other vulnerabilities to attack not only systems with Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer, but also those equipped with Firefox.īack in June, Rios refrained from providing technical details or exploit code, saying that he had reported the vulnerability to Mozilla.
One of the flaws patched in 2.0.0.16 and 3.0.1 was credited to security researcher Billy Rios, who wrote last month about a 'blended' threat to Windows users who had both Apple Inc.'s Safari browser and Firefox installed on the same system.
