Authorities in Texas and Louisiana today are working to get thousands of residents out of the path of Hurricane Rita as the powerful, Category 4 storm picks up strength in the Gulf of Mexico. The military also is redeploying troops and ships in the area -- including many that were helping with Hurricane Katrina recovery -- out of Rita's path and into position to respond quickly.

Hurricane Rita strengthened to a Category 4 storm with 135 mph winds today, deepening worries the storm could devastate coastal Texas and already-battered Louisiana. At 8 a.m. ET, Rita was centered about 790 miles east-southeast of Corpus Christi, Texas. In Galveston, a city of 60,000 flattened by a hurricane in 1900, Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas declared a state of emergency Tuesday night.

Hurricane Rita, moving westward away from the Florida Keys, early today strengthened into a Category 3 storm, capable of causing extensive damage. It is the fifth major hurricane of the 2005 season, which runs until November 30. The latest extended forecast says the storm could reach Category 4 strength before making landfall late Friday or early Saturday near Galveston, Texas. Forecasters, however, are not ruling out possible hits on Louisiana or northern Mexico.

Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7, a security and stability update to the flagship Mozilla browser, is now available for download. Fixes are included for the international domain name (IDN) link buffer overflow vulnerability and the Linux command line URL parsing flaw. There are also other security and stability changes, including a fix for a crash experienced when using certain Proxy Auto-Config scripts. In addition, some regressions introduced by previous 1.0.x security updates have been resolved.
The Mozilla Foundation previously issued a patch for Firefox 1.0.6 that protected users against the IDN link buffer overflow flaw at the expense of removing support for IDNs. Firefox 1.0.7 has a more permanent solution that does not involve disabling IDN functionality and any users who installed the patch will find that IDN support is restored when they upgrade.
Firefox 1.0.7 can be downloaded from the Firefox product page or the Firefox 1.0.7 directory on ftp.mozilla.org. The Firefox 1.0.7 Release Notes have more details about this upgrade and we expect the Mozilla Foundation's list of known security vulnerabilities to be updated soon.
An equivalent update to the Mozilla Application Suite, Mozilla 1.7.12, is expected shortly.

As Hurricane Rita entered the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday -- and with predictions that it will reach Category 4 status Wednesday -- the mayor of Galveston, Texas, declared a state of emergency and ordered some mandatory evacuations. Galveston is at the center of Rita's predicted possible landfalls, and one forecast track has the city suffering a direct hit. Rita pounded southern Florida and the Keys with wind and rain Tuesday but did not make official landfall.

A critical input validation security vulnerability affecting Linux versions of Mozilla Firefox and the Mozilla Application Suite has been reported today. The flaw could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on a victim's system. The bug exists in the Linux shell scripts that Firefox and the Mozilla Application Suite rely on to parse URLs supplied on the command line or by external programs. If the supplied URL contains any Linux commands enclosed in backticks, these will be executed before Firefox or the Mozilla Application Suite tries to open the URL. Variables such as $HOME will also be expanded.
While this flaw cannot be exploited solely from within Firefox or the Mozilla Application Suite itself, an attacker could take advantage of the vulnerability by tricking a victim into following a malicious link in an external program (say, an email client or instant messenging application) on a Linux system where Firefox or the Mozilla Application Suite is the default browser.
For example, consider a Linux user who uses Firefox as his or her default Web browser and Mozilla Thunderbird as his or her default email client. An attacker could send an email to this user containing a link to http://local`find`host. When the user clicks on this link in Thunderbird, Firefox's URL-parsing shell script will be invoked and will execute the find command before calling Firefox to open the URL. Users can avoid this vulnerability by not following links in external programs, particularly suspicious links found in emails, instant messages or chat conversations.
A solution to this flaw has been developed and will be included in the forthcoming Firefox 1.0.7 and Mozilla 1.7.12 releases. The Mozilla Quality weblog has a link to a Firefox 1.0.7 release candidate build with the fix and some testing instructions. Both Firefox 1.0.7 and Mozilla 1.7.12 were already planned to fix some other security and stability flaws (in particular, the recently-publicised IDN link buffer overflow vulnerability).
The Linux URL parsing flaw was reported by Peter Zelezny, who filed bug 307185 today. Secunia has posted an advisory on the issue entitled Firefox Command Line URL Shell Command Injection, which rates the bug as "Extremely critical". The French Security Incident Response Team (FrSIRT) advisory on the flaw, Mozilla Firefox Command Line URL Parsing Code Execution Issue, also rates the issue as "Critical", the highest of its four ratings. The Security Focus note, Mozilla Browser/Firefox Arbitrary Command Execution Vulnerability, has a more comprehensive list of affected systems. Thanks to roseman and Juha-Matti Laurio for the advisory links.

Hurricane Rita battered South Florida and the Keys with heavy rain and strong winds Tuesday after strengthening to a Category 2 storm. Gov. Jeb Bush warned residents to stay vigilant as the storm -- with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph -- passed through the Straits of Florida without so far making official landfall. Radar indicated Rita spawned tornadoes near Hollywood, Florida, and a water spout or tornado near Islamorada, in the upper Keys.
