Exploit code makes IE flaw more dangerous
Security information provider Secunia raised the buffer overflow flaw to its highest rating in a new advisory. The vulnerability, which was made public on Tuesday, could be used to make Internet Explorer trigger a malicious program when the Microsoft browser loads a specially formatted Web page. The flaw does not affect Windows XP Service Pack 2, Secunia said.
The flaw is extremely critical as a working exploit has been published on public mailing lists.
The Iframe flaw is the latest in a series of security issues related to Internet Explorer. ScanSafe found that a flaw in the browser had racked up the highest number of attacks for one exploit in the second quarter. In addition, microsoft has been drawn into a debate whether a spoofing technique that uses Internet Explorer can be described as a flaw !!!
