IE7 Bug Reports Flooding In

the JoshMeister writes "According to ZDNet, bug reports are already flooding in for Microsoft's new Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview. Specific issues include the possibility of arbitrary code execution as well as incompatibilities with McAfee Security Center, anti-spyware programs, and online banking sites." From the article: "... browser testers may already be at risk, according to security researcher Tom Ferris. Late Tuesday, Ferris released details of a potential security flaw in IE 7. An attacker could exploit the flaw by crafting a special Web page that could be used to crash the browser or gain complete control of a vulnerable system, Ferris said in an advisory on his Web site. Microsoft had no immediate comment on Ferris' alert."

Ahh... what a relief... by John+Betonschaar · 2006-02-02 01:37 · Score: 0, Troll

What a relief to know that we can expect the same browsing experience and constant level of quality from IE7 as we were accustomed to with IE6! Even though they completely re-engineered the whole browser with all these innovative new features and overhauled the security model of the browser/OS integration!
