7 holes discovered in Internet Exploder

[Xeen]

Today 7 (that's right, SEVEN) security holes were discovered by a Chinese researcher in Micro$uck Internet Exploder. 2 of them are very critical.

 

quote:The spokesman said Microsoft is not aware of anyone actively exploiting the holes or of any impact on customers.

lol...give it a few days.

 

quote:Two holes are critical and could allow an attacker to run a program that would delete files, crash the machine or take control of it from a remote location

Any further proof required of the danger of having such a shitty internet browser integrated so deep into an operating system?

inovation at its  best     :rolleyes:    


I  was running Redhat close to a year. Actually  truthfully  more then that I  had   redhat on and off since 6.0.   I switched to slackcware and running about  4 or  5 months (not sure) but long enough. :-D  Slack is  great   trying to  install 9.1/7.1 on one of my  many/future  computers. lol one my old computer instead of windows  95 slack  7.1.  I am having trouble though to write a CD that is slow enough for  it to read it reads cdr's  just k3b   thing need to know how to slow  it down   enough.        


Not suprised  at all regarding  Microsofty  products.

More info:

Apparently, Micro$hit was notified about these bugs in September, and didn't bother to take action.
