HTML Rendering Crashes IE

Posted by michael on from the tough-job dept.

SlimySlimy writes "According to this article on Secunia, a new IE exploit was found that crashes almost any version of Internet Explorer past 4.0 with just 5 lines of plain HTML code (no JavaScript, ActiveX, etc.). If you're very brave, you can test/crash your IE by going here." There's also a note on SecurityFocus.

  1. I spend too much time on Slashdot... by TrentC · · Score: 0, Troll

    I used to consistently crash Mozilla on some Hotmail pages.

    Is it me, or did the phrase "Hotmail isn't done until Mozilla won't run" run through anyone else's head when they read that?

    Maybe Slashdot is affecting me more than I thought. (If this post turns up twice, we'll know for sure...)
