Microsoft: IE hole worse than reported | |
|
||
| Time: 11:26 EST/16:26 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Microsoft on Friday raised its threat rating for a security flaw in its Internet Explorer browser to "critical," in response to criticism of its initial assessment of the hole's danger. A representative of Microsoft, which has come under fire for its security policies, said the company had changed its original rating of a flaw in IE versions 5.5 and 6 as a result of comments posted to the Bugtraq online bulletin board by a security consultant. | ||

Interesting. I read the Thor Larholm note and it seemed like overreaction to me and I'm sure he's patting himself on the back, but I still didn't see anything in his post which supported his claim. The information MS provided in their original bulletin indicated that the probability of impact was fairly low. They appear to have changed that based on some new information, but are somewhat light on detail.
Risk = Probability * Impact |

Glad I could help, CPUGuy:)
I'm not saying what I am about to say as a mod, just as a person who visits the site a lot. These trolls are really getting annoying, and I wish they would stop. As much bad stuff as people say about Sodajerk and some of the other more anti-MS members, atleast they bring facts up and have good support for their arguements. I usually can't stand people who always take one position ("MS is bad," "MS is good"), but at least SJ supports his opinion. nomdlev (and many others), I'm sure your insightful comments would be much more appreciated elsewhere. Back to mod mode: Please people, keep it clean. We have a Terms of Use here for a reason. |

nom, you're not giving a story, your being an idiot.
All you say is "Windows sucks, get MacOSX.", "Apple should get into this market, they would dominate.", and "Apple invented plastic." Your comments have absolutely no subtance, and show no sign of intelligence. |

Todd: Maybe you can help me with something....
When I'm on this site, and this site only, with this computer only, when I click back, it for some reason connects to the loopback address (127.0.0.1) and then just refreshes the page, then when I click back a 2nd time, it goes back to the last page I was on. |

nomdlev, even if I had the ability, I wouldn't ban you. There are very few ways to get banned from this site, and none of them are based on your message (unless you are spamming or something similar).
CPUGuy, that isn't my department, but I will pass your post along. |

Bas - that's the best thing you've ever posted. :-)
As far as the IE security thing... does one bug matter when we're still taking about 18 bugs that haven't been fixed? http://www.pivx.com/larholm/unpatched/ |

RMD I tried out the exploits for a couple of those listed on that page and they didn't work... Maybe some or all of those are already patched?
Peace, RA |
| #13 By 2332 (65.221.182.3) at 12/7/2002 11:13:24 PM |
| #21 - Most I've tried have worked... can you list the ones that don't work, along with your IE version, OS, and what patches you've applied? |
