New IE Flaw Allows Address Bar Spoofing
Frank Washkuch writes on SC Magazine Online:
Another Internet Explorer (IE) flaw has been found, one that allows phishers and other malicious users to spoof an address bar when creating a malicious site.More here.
The vulnerability is caused by a condition in the loading of Macromedia Flash Format (.swf) files in browser windows. The flaw can then be exploited to show what appears to be a legitimate address bar, according to vulnerability monitoring firm Secunia.
The firm also provided a test for home users to see if their browsers have been affected by this flaw.
