New Remote Flaw In 64-Bit Windows 7

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday December 21, 2011 @08:26AM from the hole-in-the-wall dept.

Trailrunner7 writes "Researchers are warning about a new remotely exploitable vulnerability in 64-bit Windows 7 that can be used by an attacker to run arbitrary code on a vulnerable machine. The bug was first reported a couple of days ago by an independent researcher and confirmed by Secunia. In a message on Twitter, a researcher named w3bd3vil said that he had found a method for exploiting the vulnerability by simply feeding an iframe with an overly large height to Safari. The exploit gives the attacker the ability to run arbitrary code on the victim's machine."

Re:So all 5 of you running Safari on Windows by Dishevel · 2011-12-21 09:02 · Score: 0, Flamebait

Not saying that Safari does not have some shit code in it that allows this to happen but there is no way that windows should allow the execution of the code because some shit piece of software can not handle its data.
So ... Fuck em both.
