Users running Firefox on Linux may be vulnerable to a security vulnerability that can be exploited to compromise the user's system. Security firm Secunia warned on Tuesday that a flaw rated as "extremely critical" has been found in Firefox 1.0.6. The flaw can only be exploited on Unix or Linux based environments and can be fixed by upgrading to Firefox 1.0.7.

Please demonstrate how an adimitted flaw (fixed 9 days before it was "found") in Firefox is a flaw in Unix? The fix had to be made in Firefox's core code... not in the OS.
Even if this were to apply to OSX under BSDFree UNIX, it would still require administrator permission to first download and also for the first run of the malicious code... AND to do serious system damage, the user would have to be running in root... which is turned off by default in OSX.
