In fact, Mozilla has announced eight vulnerabilities, i.e. MFSA 2007-29...MFSA 2007-36.

MFSA stands for Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory.

It appears that Secunia informs about this fix too:

NOTE: Additional fixes have been added to prevent the exploitation of a URI handling vulnerability in Microsoft Windows.


Only Windows systems are (were Smile ) affected in this vulnerabiility.

Microsoft's technical clarification was released hereearlier.
