This week, Microsoft has released a record-breaking series of patches, in which there is one patch that doesn’t aim at the bug of IE, the product of Microsoft itself, but aims at that of Firefox, a browser from Mozilla. The bug is the result of an update of Windows Update released by Microsoft eight months ago.
The software, Firefox browser is using the kernel of the Internet Explorer, the production of the Microsoft.
And the patches released by Microsoft this time include not only the patches of the IE, but also a patch to rectify a severe bug of the Firefox browser.
The influenced subassembly is the "Windows Presentation Foundation plug-in in Firefox", a component of the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.
This plug-in would be installed spontaneous, without the agreement of the user. The danger is apparent. If the Firefox user get into a rogue websites, his PC would be damaged by execute remote manipulation. What's worse, as reporters said, the plug-in can not be removed from the computer. Because the “Uninstall” and “Disable” buttons of it are disabled by default so that it is quite complicated to remove the it. The bug of uninstall is repaired by a update of Microsoft in May.
Though the latest update would solve this problem, to all of the Firefox users, it is better to check out if your PC has been installed this plug. And if the answer is positive, do remember to remove it right now for the security of your own computer.
