Windows 98, Me, NT4, 2000 and XP SSL Flawed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the sucks-to-be-them dept.

JoeSmack writes "In amazingly unexpected news, ComputerWorld is running an article that says the SSL security hole found in Internet Explorer is not a flaw in the browser, but in the operating system itself." The article mentions that Konqueror was patched against the same bug in 90 minutes.

    I think it's ironic that MS has pushed netscape and
    the rest out of the browser market, and has managed
    to make the purpose of ssl worthless since most
    of the browers out there will not ever be updated.

    Did netscape around 1996/1997 have this bug when
    it was competing against microsoft/explorer?

    What about those other older browsers which have
    gone by the wayside?

    hmm...
