All Browsers But IE At Risk To New Spoofing Scheme Feb. 7, 2005

A newly uncovered vulnerability in most browsers can allow hackers to spoof the URL displayed in the address bar and the SSL certificate.

A newly uncovered vulnerability in most browsers can allow hackers to spoof the URL displayed in the address bar and the SSL certificate, a security firm warned Monday. The one exception? Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

Danish security company Secunia posted an alert describing the vulnerability -- which affects Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Konqueror -- as a "moderately critical" problem.

The vulnerability impacts every browser built atop the open-source Geko browser kernel -- nearly all except IE -- because of a flaw in handling International Domain Names (IDN). Hackers can register domain names with certain international characters that resemble other commonly-used characters, said Secunia, to spoof the address and trick the user into thinking they're at a legitimate site and/or it's secured by SSL.

Such spoofing vulnerabilities are typically exploited by phishers who try to dupe users into divulging financial information at bogus Web sites that resemble real-life banking, credit card, or retail sites.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in the latest version of Firefox, v. 1.0, as well as in Mozilla 1.7.5, Opera 7.54u1, Opera 7.54u2, Safari 1.2.4, Konqueror 3.2.2, and Netscape 7.2. Other editions of these browsers, however, may also be at risk, said Secunia, which posted an online test on its Web site.

Currently, none of the vendors have provided fixes for the flaw.

I was wondering what was going on with the board..

Now I have the same problem with IE

woohoo, working in safari now!

Workaround for Firefox:

type about:config in your address bar and do the following:

You can disable IDN support in mozilla products by setting 'network.enableIDN'
to false. There is no workaround known for Opera or Safari.

Doesn't that reset each time you open the browser?

If you mean resets to default each time you open a browser, then no.

Thanks for the tip.

These are the guys that discovered it:

Read a little further down on that Slashdot thread. You might have toggle it to True and then False again. It worked for me, but after reading the whole thread, I see it is not working for others.

Looks like some fixes are already in the works. I'll be keeping an eye for it.
