OC Forums firewall hit?

The part that concerns me is the "Attempted User Privilege Gain". This is logged on my Smoothwall thru IDS (Snort). It says Firefox is vulnerable to the attack. I'm wondering if/how this is harmful.

they have been saying that there is a hole in firefox and that you should download the newest version 0.9.2 at the website

I have this version. Does this mean even tho my firewall is picking up the attack, it is not affecting my computer at all??

there are two holes in .92 that have yet to be fixed. Keep checking the mozilla website to see if they path them.

well i guess that there is more holes to deal with...

at least it is not as bad as IE lol

Ok, I just loaded Guardian Reactive firewall on my Smoothwall. The IP is one of INets, and when I go to search for new posts, it will load really slow then stop. The IP becomes blocked, not because of Firefox, its because of Inet. I'd like to see their opinion on this or anyone elses....

:Edit:
Sorry, this really goes with this thread. Still like to hear an update on it though, or at least an explanation.
