C|Net is reporting that Mozilla has released a patch for the International Domain Name (IDN) flaw that was discovered last week by Tom Ferris. The patch actually just makes a configuration change that you could do yourself without the patch, but they released the patch anyway. The flaw will reportedly be addressed in the next Firefox release, 1.5 Beta 2, due at the beginning of next month.

"Switching off IDN support impacts a subset of Firefox and Mozilla users who actually use such special domain names, he said. Though there is no known attack that takes advantage of the flaw, Mozilla advises Firefox and Mozilla users to disable IDN."
