Exploit code sends Mozilla scrambling to fix Firefox

I have just a couple minutes to post this before my lunch break is over but wanted to share this report by Ryan Naraine, ZDNet.com, about what is being referred to as a "Zero Day" security flaw.
"Mozilla’s security response team is scrambling to ready a patch for what appears to be a serious security flaw affecting its flagship Firefox browser.

The vulnerability, released alongside proof-of-concept code on several security sites, could lead to malicious code execution attacks if a Firefox user is lured to a Web site rigged with exploits. It affects all versions of the open-source browser, including the newest Firefox 3.0.7."
