yeah, yet another 'zero-day' (is it really zero-day with this?) IE
hole :frowning: So again, why would you want to use this? (yes sean, there are
more holes in bind/sendmail/blah-unix-tool than ever in IE/Win*, but the
market base causes the huge scope of the problem, eh?)

oh well, block tcp/80 and tcp/443?

The good news is Windows XP Service Pack 2 blocks the attack. The bad
news is XP/SP2 is still in beta. The double-bad news is XP/SP2 is only
for XP; so "legacy" Microsoft users are still out of luck.

Full Disclosure has been discussing the details.

Hmm is this the same as the help file problem recently patched for Safari in Mac
OSX?
