AKS™ – Feel The Change!

    A bug discovered earlier this week in Firefox 3.5’s Just-in-time (JIT) JavaScript compiler was disclosed publicly by S.Berry on milw0rm. Just after three days worth of testing later, Mozilla has pushed out Firefox 3.5.1, with a fix for this error as well as corrections for several other bugs.

    “ Firefox user zbyte reported a crash that we determined could result in an exploitable memory corruption problem. In certain cases after a return from a native function, such as escape(), the Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler could get into a corrupt state. This could be exploited by an attacker to run arbitrary code such as installing malware.”

    The vulnerability was introduced in TraceMonkey, the JavaScript engine used in Firefox 3.5 that actually offers a decent speed boost to the browser. Oddly enough, TraceMonkey was already set to be patched this month by Mozilla, as bugs in the newest engine were listed in a July 1 meeting as the sole topcrash issue for Firefox 3.5. In other words, while vulnerabilities like this are horrible, this one came at a perfect time as developers were already giving TraceMonkey a thorough cleaning.

This update can also be applied manually by selecting “Check for Updates…” from the Help menu. You can download Firefox 3.5.1 from official Mozilla site.

   Looking for a Backup solution which don’t pull out your wallet? Here it is PureSync although there are other application which does the same job for free as this one but this one really caught my attention.This application does all the job which is expected from a backup program such as two way synchronization and one way backup .

      PureSync synchronizes content between folders on different drives, creates backup copies of selected folders and helps you extract photos from your digital camera and other devices you can connect to the computer. You can create multiple syncing tasks, each of them with its own name and configuration options, and set them to work according to a schedule or only when you manually start them.

    PureSync is very easy to use: a step-by-step wizard guides you through the whole process of creating each syncing task. The program’s interface displays a summary of all the actions applied to files and folders, using a color code to distinguish different types of synchronization.

      PureSync supports also incremental backup copies – that is, copies only those files that have changed – and can be seamlessly integrated with Windows Explorer.
