Microsoft Confirms Zero-Day Bug in IE6, IE7 and IE8

..sounds like very shoddy coding then. You can NEVER trust user inputted data no matter how it's provided...

...A user who knows what they're doing can easily enter anything they want in those fields. Either by manipulating the packet or their browser.

I agree that trust is a major issue. That's a big part of what "hacking" is all about. What's going on here is seeing the code behind the code. Dealing with the file, NOT the program, to get in THROUGH the program.

lol

Like infecting a picture. What happens when that picture is one of the background graphics used within a webpage? Stored as a cookie (written to the disc)? No user input, just pulling up the page.

I think IE needs to be canceled for real. everyone in the world should be forced to use an open source browser like chromium

Oh hey, that's the guy that dresses in all red, lives in a place where the environment is sorta extreme, laughs very loudly, and has underlings pretty much do everything for him.

...

Hmm, Satan and Santa are sorta similar from a high-level perspective.

Actually Santa Claus is kinda scary when you put it into perspective. He stalks kids all year round, then on Christmas night comes into houses and breaks in through the chimney in order to not be detected, and carries a huge bag.

And his sled has no windows and the words "free candy" on the side in grease marker.
