The issue comes at a difficult time for Mozilla, whose software platform includes Linux. Firefox is the browser of choice for users with access to a variety of insecure operating systems. Mozilla has been fighting hard to create a solution that would allow users to remotely log-in to Firefox, but the company said they were not ready to answer the bug until it was addressed in Firefox 0.6.

Mozilla is working with the security community to address the issue in Firefox 0.6. Mozilla said it would make sure there is a fix in place to allow users to log-in to Firefox after they update to Firefox 0.6.

Mozilla is also considering how to increase security around the vulnerable server. The company released a security patch to help prevent the SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_SUCCESS message from being sent to a vulnerable client and later to other vulnerable clients.

The security patch will not affect vulnerable clients or servers, Mozilla said.

The security patch is expected to be issued in April.

The vulnerability was first reported in September and was reported by security researcher Michael Storsch in a blog post. Storsch, who is also director of the security group at the Center for Cyber Intelligence and Privacy at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee , explained that the attacker could use any SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_SUCCESS message the attacker sends to a server to impersonate the server as it works on the server and to gain access to a vulnerable server.

The flaw is also in Debian and is being reported in the Linux kernel as CVE-2013-9393.

Mozilla said it was following the latest security patch and is working with the Linux kernel to address the vulnerability.

CVE-2013-9393 is a single-hop vulnerability in the OpenSSH 2.0 protocol that allows attackers to send arbitrary-encoded code to any openSSH server or other vulnerable server, regardless of whether the code was crafted or not, as long as the malicious code was executed immediately after a user tries to log into the server.

The flaw is known to be in the Linux kernel, and was first reported in August 2013 by security researcher David Bransford , who was working at the University of Wisconsin at Madison for several months after he discovered the flaw and discovered it was in Debian 5.

To understand why the flaw is so critical to Firefox, a user must first run out of root or sudo privileges in order to access an SSH2_MSG_
