Greasemonkey security problem

Greaseblog: Mandatory Greasemonkey Update:

    Yesterday, Mark Pilgrim discovered and announced a very serious security vulnerability in Greasemonkey. The flaw allows any website which matches at least one user script (even * scripts) to read any local file on your machine, or to list the contents of local directories. The flaw applies to Greasemonkey on all platforms.
