Monday = security vulnerability day

Couple of security advisories floating around this morning that may or may not be pertinent to the software you're using. I'm personally using both Firefox and Solaris, so it's a double-whammy Monday this morning. There've been two vulnerabilities reported in Firefox that can currently only be addressed by disabling your JavaScript. The worst part of it is that there's exploit code already publicly available. On the Solaris side of things, they've found a vulnerability in the NIS+ service daemon that would allow users on client systems to disable the service. Not a huge deal, especially since there are already patches available.
