[LUG] Firefox vulnerability exploited in the wild, targeting (a.o.) Linux

 

Installing patches as soon as they come out - and, if you're running
critical system, after you have tested those patches - is always a good
idea. It's extra important now with Firefox, given that a vulnerability 
in its built-in PDF reader is being exploited in the wild. The exploit
is targeting Linux too: it's stealing private SSH keys, bash and MySQL
histories.
