Spoofing Flaw Resurfaces in Mozilla Browsers

Posted by Zonk on from the going-back-in-time dept.

GregThePaladin writes "A 7-year-old flaw that could let an attacker place malicious content on trusted Web sites has resurfaced in the most recent Firefox browser, Secunia has warned. The flaw, which also affects some other Mozilla Foundation programs, lies in the way the software handles frames. The applications don't check whether the frames displayed in a single window all originate from the same Web site." Commentary on this at whitedust as well.

    So, I wonder whether you'll be moderated down as Flamebait or Offtopic? Because if I had mod points, I couldn't decide for quite a while. Maybe both.
