PROBLEM:
Internet Explorer is vulnerable to the Freiburg attack.
Internet Explorer 4.0 has a bug known as the Freiburg text-viewing bug, which could allow a malicious Web site to obtain the contents from a text, HTML, or a graphic image (no other file types) from a user's hard disk. That information could not be damaged or manipulated on the user's computer, but it could be viewed. SOLUTION: A description of the bug and a patch to fix it can be found here. | ||
