MSIE Uber-patch Of The Month

mkraft writes "Microsoft released another security patch for Internet Explorer to fix 6 'new' vulnerabilities. Info on the patch can be obtained via download or Windows Update. Not sure what 6 things the patch fixed, but I'm assuming they fixed 6 of the 14 known exploits listed at http://jscript.dk/unpatched/" Maybe not even all six -- the maintainer of the above URL claims in a post to Bugtraq that Microsoft got some facts wrong and "patched a symptom" of one of the vulnerabilities, "not its root cause," and that IE5 and IE5.5 remain unpatched with the same "Critical" vulnerability. Also, please compare to previous MSIE Uber-Patches Of The Month: December 2001, 3+? holes in IE; March 2002, 2+? holes in IE; April 2002, 2+? holes in Mac IE.

Netscape not secure

[Peridriga]

What about this?

Netscape isn't secure either. A well written web page can read and capture local files.

Micro$oft, although they write their fair share, isn't the only company that writes bad code.

This is not news!

As the subject states; this is not news for nerds.

Bad Idea

Do you still live at home, or ever eat there? Do you know what happens when you don't tip at restaurants? Might want to start checking your food...

When did the admonition against being a potty-mouth get removed from the "Important Stuff" at the bottom of the post screen?

No wonder I've backsliding...
