    Careful, exploit for google toolbar is out

    A remote user can execute arbitrary scripting code in the Local Computer security zone.

    It is reported that the 'About' section of the Google Toolbar does not properly filter HTML code. A remote user can create HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will invoke the About page and execute arbitrary scripting code in the context of the page.

    A demonstration exploit is provided:

    <s c r i p t>
    window.showModalDialog("res://C:\\Program%20Files\\Google\\GoogleToolbar1.dll/ABOUT.HTML",
    "<div style=\"background-image:
    url(javascript:alert(location.href));\">");
    </s c r i p t>

            Use Firefox and if you want to see pageranks, install the extension below. Takes up a lot less space than google's toolbar.

            Google Pagerank extension:

                just disable it when your going to "questionable" sites. No word from google on an update but knowing them it won't take long.
