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.

    In linux they push patches all the time, but a company (like the one I work for) can still screen and test them before they roll out. They can also push it out faster if its a critical bug, and not have to wait for the vendor first.

    About damn time MS found a flaw in it's own software.

    I had nearly the same reaction. Microsoft does not appear to be in the "finding security flaws" business and to my knowledge, this is the first I have ever heard of Microsoft's researchers finding anything. Seems to me Microsoft depends on its customers, competitors and 'haters' to find security flaws.

    So Microsoft found a security problem in another company's software? Damn... maybe 2012 *is* real! The end is nigh!

    that MS cannot find bugs in their products if they spend all the time looking for vulnerabilities in competitors products.

  9. No surprise here, M$ always blames others by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    This is nothing new, M$ always blames others for their own crappy, insecure software. It is M$ that cals bugs "features" in M$ Windoze and all of M$'s software. Then M$ places the blame the their own addicts for the short fallings of M$ software. Shit, M$ has even blamed distributers of non-free software as well as free software distributers for all problems in M$ Windoze. So it should come as no surprise M$ is now blaming Google especially after $weatyB has threatened to fucking kill Google.
