Another IE 7 pop-up problem discovered
Published November 2nd, 2006 in Adware, All Categories, Internet Explorer 7, Security
Security researchers on Monday warned of a problem in Internet Explorer 7 that could allow 
malicious attackers to alter content in a legitimate Web site’s pop-up window.
The browser issue could affect users who visit a trusted site by opening a pop-up window in that site that contains malicious code. This is the second IE 7 problem that has been discovered since Microsoft released the browser two weeks ago. Last week, a security flaw was discovered in IE 7 that could spoof the address of a pop-up window.
The two IE 7 security holes, if used in conjunction with each other, can easily dupe all but the most security-minded users, said Thomas Kristensen, chief technology officer of security company Secunia, which discovered the problems. Another IE 7 pop-up problem discovered | CNET News.com
