Starting with: Internet Explorer on XP SP1/SP2, which suffers a new system compromise (of course) vulnerability. Continuing with: Opera, Mozilla / Mozilla Firefox / Camino, Safari, Netscape, Konqueror, Avant Browser and Maxthon, which all suffers some new spoofing vulnerabilitities. Demonstrations of the spoofing vulnerabilities are available here and here."

  1. Yay! Mine isn't *THAT* bad! by chrisopherpace · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's a vulnerability lotto! Mozilla got a spoofing vuln (assuming URL spoofing vuln, as the article is slashdotted, and I'm too lazy to view the Bug Traq lists)! At least it isn't as bad as IE....guess that stack protection with SP2 isn't helping with that one?

    I would not dismiss this flaw out of hand like that. Its a serious problem with tabs and can easily be abused. I mean, imagine if IE did tabs tomorrow (natively) and only IE had this problem. Would the slashdot crowd be as nice about it as you are towards mozilla. Of course not.
