(InfoWorld) - Security researchers have discovered a serious flaw in Google's desktop software that could be used to wreak havoc on a victim's computer. The bug, which was made public Wednesday by Watchfire, has now been fixed. While Google is automatically delivering a patch, Google Desktop users who want to be sure they are running the latest version of the software can download it here. Users should be running version 5.0.701.30540 or later, said Google Spokesman Barry Schnitt. Google was first notified of the problem on Jan. 4 and produced its fix on Feb. 1, a Watchfire spokesman said Wednesday. In addition to its bug fix, Google has added, "another layer of security checks to the latest version of Google Desktop to protect users from similar vulnerabilities in the future," Schnitt said. "We have received no reports that this vulnerability was exploited," he added. Watchfire's research underscores the danger of integrating Web-based applications with the desktop, the company said in a white paper published Wednesday. The flaw lies in a search parameter used by Google Desktop's Advanced Search feature, which could be used to execute malicious JavaScript code, according to Watchfire. For this attack to work, the criminal would have to first go through a number of steps, including hacking Google.com to find a cross site scripting vulnerability on the Web site -- something that has been done several times in the past year, according to Watchfire. If successful, however, the attack would be devastating. A criminal could search for anything on the computer or even take over the victim's computer by tricking Google desktop into running malicious software stored on another computer, Watchfire claims.

(InfoWorld) - Mozilla has released the first update for the Firefox 2.0 browserÂ to fix eight security vulnerabilities. According to the company, release 2.0.0.1 of Firefox fixes flaws in memory corruption as well as the way the browser executes RSS (really simple syndication), Javascript and CSS (cascading style sheets) code, among other vulnerabilities. Mozilla also patched similar flaws in its Firefox 1.5 browser. Five of the eight flaws were rated as critical, according to Firefox. A critical rating means a Firefox user would be vulnerable to attack and remote software installation on their machines just from browsing the Web in the usual fashion. Two of the flaws were rated as high, while one received a low security-risk rating, Firefox said. Mozilla's advisory and information on the update can be found on the company's Web site. Danish security firm Secunia ApS also posted information about the patches on its Web site. Mozilla released Firefox 2.0, the second major update to its open-source browser, in October.
