While the post dates back to the beginning of February, the hole is likely to remain open since no updates have been released for Firefox 3.6 so far. Secunia rates the problem as critical, but hasn't provided any further information in its advisories and the Mozilla Foundation has become aware of the problem, but has yet to release an official statement. Whether the exploit has already been widely circulated or used on a large scale remains unknown. However, according to the analysis on the Extraexploit blog, a significant increase in the number of Firefox 3.6 crashes was noted on the 12th and 13th of February. It is unclear whether the crashes were connected to the exploit being tested. The pages causing the highest number of crashes are listed in Mozilla's crash reports.
