Release Date: 2004-06-30

Moderately critical
Impact: Spoofing
Where: From remote


Software: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

Description:
http-equiv has discovered a 6 year old vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer, allowing malicious people to spoof the content of websites.

The problem is that Internet Explorer fails to stop a malicious website from loading arbitrary content in an arbitrary frame in another browser window. An example has been posted, which shows arbitrary content in a frame on windowsupdate.microsoft.com.

Solution:
Do not visit or follow links from untrusted websites.

Use another browser.

Read Security Bulletin

Just another reason people need to get rid of IE. What si it now? 3 unpatched vulnerabilities?
