    So are you going to block all image/jpeg and image/png, which is probably 60% of the static images on the web (including GIF), because you know there's at least one exploit for each out there? Your idea of the web suddenly becomes very dull and useless - you might as well convert all text/html to text/plain while you're at it.

  5. Re:My money is on Chrome by bunratty · · Score: 4, Informative · on IE Not Faring Well In the EU Ballot

    Microsoft has still not issued a patch for their Charset Inheritance Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability that was found three years ago. The flaw exists in the current version of IE 8.

    You may remember in January there was a flaw in Internet Explorer that Microsoft knew about for several months before they delivered a patch. Before the patch was delivered, the flaw was widely exploited by Operation Aurora.

    Now, you're trying to equate those fuckups to Mozilla holding back on releasing a patch for two weeks when there's no sign that the vulnerability is being exploited at all? In case you can't see what the difference is, Microsoft delays patches far longer and gives black hats far more opportunity to exploit the vulnerabilities. How do you think all those botnets get created?

    Exploits based on HTML-based help files. If you can get a user to download and "execute" an HTML-help file from an untrustworthy source, even with a "safe" browser, you'll trigger the IE-related HTML rendering DLLs to display the help file.

    There was at least one fairly old vulnerability that Microsoft patched years ago, but the basic attack surface is unchanged.

  8. IE-only sites are numerous. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Internet Explorer 9 Will Not Support Windows XP
    "I swear I haven't seen an IE-only site in several years now."

    I saw an IE-only site yesterday. Include not only web sites that don't work without IE, but also web sites that don't work completely correctly without IE.

    Microsoft's apparent plan:
    1. Make a new browser, IE9, that doesn't work with the most used OS on the planet, Windows XP.
    2. Be slow in supporting IE8, making companies concerned about vulnerabilities. That causes them to consider buying another OS from Microsoft.
    3. Eventually stop supporting IE8, thus forcing companies using Windows XP to buy another OS from Microsoft, because the browser is the most vulnerable component of the OS.

    For the humorous version of this guess, see Little known background story.

    For those who say that Windows XP is old, I say that Windows XP SP2 was the first release version of Windows XP, in my opinion. Windows XP SP2, released August 25, 2004, 5 1/2 years ago, fixed some very nasty bugs. Companies want to work on their business, not fiddle with computer systems.

    (Note: Trying not to slashvertise, just sharing some info about a program that's helped me stay secure. I have no affiliation with Secunia, I just like the tool a lot.)

    I scan with Secunia's (a Danish computer security company) freeware tool to check if I have insecure applications.

    3 times out of 4, when something has a category 4 or category 5 exploit (e.x. click2own), it's Adobe Flash Player, Shockwave, AIR, Reader/Acrobat, etc.

    It's also interesting because it tells you if your browsers are insecure (due to plugins or the browser itself). Both IE8 and Chrome are insecure in current versions with all patches.

    It was pretty eye opening for me, because I thought that I kept secure, but I had 20 insecure applications when I first got the scanner. I'm always skeptical about getting stuff for free, but I imagine that Secunia uses the data to improve the accuracy of their business software.

    To return to the story topic... when possible, use Adobe alternatives (e.x. Sumatra instead of Adobe Reader) and check your flash player and shockwave player versions at least once a week.

    Firefox Users can use Mozilla's plugin check.

    One more thing in my diatribe...recent versions of the Shockwave Player don't update correctly. I installed the latest version to fix a couple critical vulnerabilities only to find out that it wouldn't reomve the vulnerable files from my system directory. I had to download the Shockwave uninstaller, reboot my PC, reinstall shockwave, and reboot again. I felt like I was back on Windows 9x again.
