    Extremely Critical IE6/SP2 Exploit Found

    Yet another reason to use FireFox

    http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?si...737248&tid=172

    Secunia is reporting on three vulnerabilities in IE6 running on XP SP2. Any of these, in combination with an inappropriate behaviour where the ActiveX Data Object (ADO) model can write arbitrary files, can be exploited to compromise a user's system. Moreover, the vulnerability can be used to delete files from the user's system. Secunia says 'Solution: Use another product.'

              Oh sorry, Slashdot has a habit of dupes.
              I read the headlines every week or so.
              Can't believe the editors fuck up so much and actually get paid for it.
