MS Finds Security Flaw In Google Chrome Frame

Posted by timothy on from the they're-the-experts dept.

Christmas Shopping writes with this excerpt from Kaspersky Labs' threatpost: "Back in September, when Google launched the Google Chome Frame plug-in for Internet Explorer users, Microsoft immediately warned that the move would increase the attack surface and make IE users less secure. Now comes word that a security researcher in the Microsoft Vulnerability Research (MSVR) has discovered a 'high risk' security vulnerability that could allow an attacker to bypass cross-origin protections." "Google has hurried out a patch," he adds.

    Everytime Firefox opens an update dialog, it is effectively asking me to take a shitload on my Linux installation... and kill a kitten.

    Not on your Linux installation, but in your own home directory. Unless you run as root. If you do run Firefox as root, then you should not worry about kittens killed when firefox is updated. You kill them every second spend in your X session.
