  Microsoft Confirms IE Phishing Flaw
Time: 12:28 EST/17:28 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: Chris Hedlund

Software engineers at Microsoft Corp.'s security research team have confirmed the existence of a bug in the Internet Explorer browser that opens the door to URL spoofing attacks. The flaw, which has been widely reported on public mailing lists, can be exploited by a malicious attacker to spoof the URL of a pop-up advertisement and has been confirmed on a fully patched system with Internet Explorer 6.0 and Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2. According to a Microsoft spokesperson, Windows XP SP2 requires the URL of pop-up ads to display in the title bar when a pop-up has been opened without the address bar. "Our early analysis indicates that only pop-up ads that contain extremely long URLs can be spoofed in this scenario," the spokesperson told eWEEK.com
