[WEB SECURITY] Mozilla Releases JavaScript Fuzzer

[bugtraq@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

"In a bid to improve browser security, both within Firefox and among competing browsers, the Mozilla Foundation Thursday 
announced several open-source security testing tools, in addition to several security enhancements coming with Firefox 3, 
scheduled for availability by the end of the year.

Mozilla has been using an open-source application security testing tool, known as a fuzzer, for JavaScript to detect and 
fix dozens of security bugs in Firefox, Mozilla director of ecosystem development Window Snyder said Thursday at the 
Black Hat USA 2007 conference in Las Vegas. The JavaScript fuzzer found 280 bugs in Firefox, 27 of which were exploitable. "
