Another IE Flaw

As mentioned at The Register, another cross domain scripting flaw in Internet Explorer has been discovered:

Possible exploits include elevating privileges, arbitrary command execution, local file reading and stealing arbitrary cookies. [the usual stuff, natch]

[...]

To guard against the vulnerability, PivX suggests that administrators should disable ActiveX scripting until a patch is available. [no surprise there]

[...]

Oh, and according to PivX (the people who discovered this hole), Internet Explorer is subject to 19 unpatched security holes.

If you’re an IE user, why not give Mozilla a try? Security and Open Source: two great tastes that taste great together :).
