With a well formed FRAME or IFRAME tag a Buffer Overflow happens and you can execute bad code on the stack. In his announcement on Bugtraq, he added a proof of concept and explained that all Internet Explorer 6.0 versions are affected, except Windows XP SP2 installations."

    all Internet Explorer 6.0 versions are affected, except Windows XP SP2 installations
    So unpatched versions of IE are unsafe; I should imagine this is true for many applications. Is this really relevant news or just Microsoft bashing for the sake of it?
