Updates released by Mozilla on Wednesday for its Firefox browser address a zero-day vulnerability that has been exploited in targeted attacks.
Mozilla says it's aware of targeted attacks exploiting this zero-day, but no other information has been made available.
The flaw has been patched with the release of Firefox 72.0.1 and Firefox ESR 68.4.1, and users have been advised to update their installations.
Mozilla last year patched two Firefox zero-day vulnerabilities that had been exploited to deliver Mac malware to cryptocurrency exchanges.
Firefox 72 also patches nearly a dozen vulnerabilities, including 5 rated high severity.
