Firefox exploit targets zero day vulns
John Leyden, The Register 2005-05-09

Security researchers have discovered two unpatched vulnerabilities in Firefox, the popular alternative web browser. The security bugs affect even the latest version of Firefox (version 1.0.3) and create a means for attackers to seize control of vulnerable systems using cross-site scripting attacks.

No system is secure - especially, when it is improperly configured, and especially, when it is administered by humans.

There are a lot of examples when MS based systems are secure (because their admins know exactly how to set them up - _correctly_), and there are a lot of Open Source (Linux/*bsd etc based) which are insecure - just because they are misconfigured. There are a lot of vulnerabilities in Open Source software, not less serious than in MS products - if we will count not only OS (kernel) by itself, but applications as well (think - PHP and like).
