Mac vulnerability also affects Firefox and Safari

Ryan Naraine posted a blog today "QuickTime bug brought down MacBook" that briefly describes the attack that brought down the MacBook Pro at last week's CanSec West Security Conference. Ryan quotes Dino Dai Zovi, the successful hacker as saying:

"The vulnerability is a Java-based vulnerability in QuickTime, which is installed by default on Mac OS X. Any Java-enabled Web browser on this platform is an attack vector and at this point, both Safari and FireFox have been confirmed to be vulnerable. This vulnerability may not only affect Mac OS, FireFox on Windows is also considered at risk at this time."
