Another flaw…
Buahahahaa… Just another reason to opt for other browser than IE. Quoted from here.
But as knowledge of the Word flaw has spread, researchers like Ullrich fear that it may be used in a more widespread attack. The vulnerability can be exploited to run unauthorized software on PCs, although users must first be first tricked into opening a maliciously encoded Word document.
Microsoft also plans to finalize changes to the way IE processes dynamic content using ActiveX. Microsoft is changing the way IE works in response to a 2003 patent lawsuit loss to the University of California and Eolas Technologies Inc.
The changes will force developers to reprogram parts of their Web sites and intranets. Otherwise, IE will force users to click on a pop-up “tool tip” dialog box before being able to interact with things like Flash or QuickTime.
Enuff said. IE or not, it’s sucks. Just like recently the company introduce a new web-based tracking systemt o keep track of all the annual leave, emergency leave and any leaves. ASP based application, slow and lagging, bleargh…. running on IIS server, and restrict us to use IE. Hate it!!!
