From the early release source provided by Cybernet, Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.7 is prepared to be released soon, I suppose within the next few days. The new release includes several security fixes and enhancement to product stability.

As Mozilla has yet to announce its release, the release page are still not available, and so were the fixed security vulnerabilities pages.

Finally, the release note for Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.7 is now available. As mentioned initially, Firefox 1.5.0.7 is a security and stability update that is part of the ongoing program to provide a safe Internet experience for Firefox users.

Release Date: September 14, 2006

Fixes
- - Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.8.0.7)
- - Popup-blocker cross-site scripting (XSS)
- - Frame spoofing using document.open()
- - RSA Signature Forgery
- - Concurrency-related vulnerability
- - Auto-Update compromise through DNS and SSL spoofing
- - JavaScript Regular Expression Heap Corruption
Additional Changes
On Linux, Firefox now follows GTK’s setting for textbox keybindings, so pressing Ctrl+letters triggers application shortcuts instead of readline-like text-editing shortcuts.
