Another Scripting Hole In Microsoft IE Exposes Local Files | |
|
||
| Time: 12:44 EST/17:44 GMT | News Source: TechNews.com | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Bulgarian bug hunter Georgi Guninski has discovered another bug in Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser that could allow a malicious hacker to read the contents of documents on the hard drive of a Web surfer's PC. The security hole, closely related to a bug the Sofia-based security consultant uncovered in September 2000, uses simple JavaScript code and Microsoft's ActiveX controls to gain access to local files. Newsbytes' own tests appeared to confirm Guninski's report that the latest bug can be found in version 6.0 of Microsoft's IE browser for Windows and version 5.5 of the browser for Windows 2000 - both with the latest security patches installed. | ||

"Wasn't this supposed to be the MOST SECURE Windows to date??"
Isn't it? Check the list of vulnerabilities for NT4, then Win2k, now XP. Notice how each release the list get's shorter and shorter and shorter... This post was edited by sodablue on Thursday, January 03, 2002 at 00:29. |
