IE vs. Mozilla on the Shell Hole—Whose Bug Is It? | |
|
||
| Time: 14:29 EST/19:29 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||
|
Opinion: Mozilla exposed the scheme, opened the hole. Now it's a debate in security circles. But the only way this is a vulnerability in Windows is if it's a vulnerability for a shell to be able to run programs. In the wake of last week's revelation of a security hole in Mozilla that allows the execution of arbitrary programs on the client system a philosophical debate has emerged: Is this a bug in Mozilla or a bug in Windows? I think the argument is that Windows should prevent the shell scheme from executing programs, but this isn't a job for Windows. This is a job for the browser. All Windows is doing in the case of what was just patched in Mozilla is taking an instruction to run a program and running it. If the browser didn't ask for it, it wouldn't happen. | ||
