July is the month of browser bugs: Security expert
Published July 6th, 2006 in All Categories, Exploits & Vulnerabilities, Security
Each day this month, a prominent security expert will highlight a new vulnerability found in one of 
the major Internet browsers.
HD Moore, the creator of Metasploit Framework, a tool that helps test whether a system is safe from intrusion, has dubbed July the Month of Browser Bugs. Already, the security researcher has featured five security flaws, three for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and one apiece for Mozilla’s Firefox and Apple Computer’s Safari.
Moore noted that one of the IE bugs appeared to have been recently patched.
"This blog will serve as a dumping ground for browser-based security research and vulnerability disclosure," Moore said on his blog. "The hacks we publish are carefully chosen to demonstrate a concept without disclosing a direct path to remote code execution."
