Pale Moon Version 33.4.1 Released with Security Update

 Pale MoonPale Moon has been updated to version 33.4.1.  This is a minor security and bug fix update.

Changes/fixes:

  • Added a processor check to the 64-bit installer for Windows to check for AVX.
    Note: this check does not work on Window 7/8/8.1 and will allow installations on non-AVX processors there.
    Note: if you are running Windows 10 before build 2004 (before 20H1), this check may fail on AVX-capable CPUs and prevent installation.
  • Improved handling of multipart/mixed documents. (CVE-2024-10461 and CVE-2016-2816) DiD
  • Addressed CVE-2024-10463.

    Notes:  *DiD This means that a fix is "Defense-in-Depth": It is a fix that does not apply to a (potentially) actively exploitable vulnerability in Pale Moon, but prevents future vulnerabilities caused by the same code, e.g. when surrounding code changes, exposing the problem, or when new attack vectors are discovered.

    Pale Moon includes both 32- and 64-bit versions for Windows: Pale Moon for Windows downloads.

    Update: To get the update now, select "Help" from the Pale Moon menu at the upper left of the browser window.  Select About Pale Moon > Check for Updates.
