[ad]<\/p>\n

Our Polish friend and expert security researcher, Michal Zalewski (lcamtuf), known for his endless stream of vulnerabilities in all manners of software, has struck again.<\/p>\n

This time with some pretty serious flaws in both Internet Exploder<\/del> Explorer and Firefox. This time it’s 4, 2 in IE and 2 in Firefox.<\/p>\n

The first which effects fully patched IE6 and IE7 is pretty serious and can result in cookie theft, cooking setting, page hijacking or memory corruption.<\/p>\n

It’s based on a page update Race Condition (aka bait and switch vuln).<\/p>\n

When Javascript code instructs MSIE6\/7 to navigate away from a page that meets same-domain origin policy (and hence can be scriptually accessed and modified by the attacker) to an unrelated third-party site, there is a window of opportunity for concurrently executed Javascript to perform actions with the permissions for the old page, but actual content for the newly loaded page<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The demo can be found here:<\/p>\n

The more serious of the two Firefox flaws is marked MAJOR and not CRITICAL and deals with the way the browser handles IFRAMEs (Cross-site IFRAME hijacking)<\/p>\n

Javascript can be used to inject malicious code, including key-snooping event handlers, on pages that rely on IFRAMEs to display contents or store state data \/ communicate with the server.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
