On: New Attack Fells Internet Explorer

Mitigating Factors: Internet Explorer 8 is not affected and Protected Mode in Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista limits the impact of the vulnerability.

Re:MS already patched in IE8 final build

On: Mozilla First To Patch Pwn2Own Browser Vulnerability

but it's not enabled by default in IE7. And XP hasn't ASLR.

yet another reason to use Vista

On: Ubuntu Download Speeds Beat Windows XP's

XP TCP/IP stack is obsolete. Vista TCP/IP stack is much better. Yet another reason to use Vista

UAC is NOT poorly implemented. The programs are!

On: Microsoft Concedes Vista Launch Problems

UAC is NOT poorly implemented. UAC implementation is much better than Linux's sudo. The programs are poorly implemented assuming administrative privileges for everything!

in windows xp these flaws are always exaploitable

On: Vista's Security Rendered Completely Useless

what these hackers just discovered is a way to make sure the flaw is exploited "successfully" even under vista which was supposed to prevent every buffer overflows exploits with the help of DEP and ASLR. (as opposite to windows xp where these kind of flaw could always be successfully exploited)

yes, I use it

On: IE 7.0/8.0b Code Execution 0-Day Released

People still use Internet Exploder? yes, I use Internet Explorer in Windows Vista that is the safest browser because it runs with the lowest privileges possibile in a sandbox (IE7 Protected mode). In fact IE7 under Vista is not affected by this flaw i.e. remote code execution is not possible (yet another reason to use Vista and UAC).

you wrong!

On: IE 7.0/8.0b Code Execution 0-Day Released

This is proof of what I've said from the beginning -- the whole concept 'zones' in IE is stupid and pointless. IE's zones is a very good thing because it gives different level of security based on zones, "internet zone" has an higher security, "local zone" has a lower security, "restricted zone" has the maximum security.

Scripts should be allowed only what you allow them, period. "allow or cancel" question for each site you visit? are you crazy???? scripting is not dangerous unless there's a flaw in javascript.

You should be able to give permissions down to the individual site you can do it with IE by putting the sites into the different zones. If you want block a site, just put it in "restricted sites" zone.

(ala NoScript) or even down to the individual script. "allow or cancel" question for each site you visit? are you crazy???? scripting is not dangerous unless there's a flaw in javascript.

Microsoft is NOT planning to release Windows 7

On: Vista SP1 Release May Be Near

Microsoft is NOT planning to release Windows 7 in 2009 ! Contrary to all that is being said on the net, it clearly looks like Microsoft is NOT planning to release Windows 7 in 2009. Q. What is the expected timeline for the availability of Windows 7? A. We are currently in the planning stages for Windows 7 and expect it will take approximately 3 more years to develop. The specific release date will be determined once the company meets its quality bar for release. All this smoke of Windows 7, being released next year, may have led to confusion in the minds of the Windows Vista user. http://www.winvistaclub.com/i7.html

remote code execution flaw in linux KDE with KPDF

On: Adobe Confirms Unpatched PDF Backdoor

remote code execution flaw in linux KDE with KPDF Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PDF file in KWord or KPDF that would exploit the integer overflow to cause a stack-based buffer overflow in the StreamPredictor::getNextLine() function, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. KOffice is an integrated office suite for KDE. KWord is the KOffice word processor. KPDF is a KDE-based PDF viewer included in the kdegraphics package. http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200710-08.xml
