MS Finds Security Flaw In Google Chrome Frame

Posted by timothy on Thursday November 19, 2009 @10:40PM 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.

The browser shouldn't be so insecure it has to be patched constanly in the first place. No, I don't have any suggestions how to do it better, but there must be a better way.
