A JPEG vulnerability is serious, since it's all over the internet and everyone believes JPEG files to be harmless.  You know, you get them in cutesy chain-letter emails, and you see them on just about every website in existence.  Since this little flaw is now in a "demo" format by means of a program designed to show off this exploit, we can expect someone to start spamming viruses within the next two weeks, so patch now!

Firefox will not.
