Pale Moon 12.3 released!

Postby Moonchild » Tue Jul 17, 2012 10:52 am

Pale Moon 12.3 has been released!

This is a security and stability update with a number of under-the-hood changes.
it addresses a number of potential security vulnerabilities.

Most notably among them:
  • Use-after-free while replacing/inserting a node in a document
  • Content Security Policy inline-script bypass
  • A few additional memory safety hazards and crashes that could theoretically be exploited

The initial binaries of Pale Moon 12.3 were faulty, and it unfortunately slipped through all the checks done while beta testing!

Update to the issue: A recompile is needed because one component was not built that session restore depends on; this somehow slipped through the net and wasn't caught while beta testing either. Recompile should take only 2.5-3 hours or so per version, meaning it will be up later today.

UPDATE 17:30 CEST: x86 is available, x64 will take more time to rebuild with the problem fixed - expected time of availability = 19:00
UPDATE 18:45 CEST: everything is now updated to the correct version
