IE7 Flawed???...
October 2006
First security flaw signaled in IE7.
Less than 24 hours after the launch of Internet Explorer 7 (IE7),
security researchers are poking holes in the new browser. Danish security company Secunia reported Thursday, October 19, that IE7 contains an information disclosure vulnerability, the same one it reported in IE6 in April. The vulnerability affects the final version of IE7 running on Windows XP with Service Pack 2. If a surfer uses IE7 to visit a maliciously crafted Website, that site could exploit the security flaw to read information from a separate, secure site to which the surfer is logged in. Secunia rates the security flaw as "less critical," its second_lowest rating, and suggests disabling active scripting support to protect the computer.
