A Bit of Browser Irony

Some of you may remember that a previous exploit in IE had me somewhat perturbed, even to the point that I temporarily switched to Foxfire. Needless to say, my experience with Foxfire was less than satisfactory, so I switched back to IE and just cranked the security settings all up as high as they would go.

Skip forward a month and a half and I find this interesting article explaining the same type of exploit, but IE is pretty much the only current browser that *isn't* affected by it.

Vulnerable browsers include (but are not limited to):

Most mozilla-based browsers (Firefox 1.0, Camino .8.5, Mozilla 1.6, etc)
Safari 1.2.5
Opera 7.54
Omniweb 5

This list includes the “we don't have any security problems“ people at Apple as well...
