A “highly critical” vulnerability has been found in Macromedia Flash Player that affects virtually every web browser on every platform.
Earlier this month, Macromedia disclosed a problem with its Flash Player software that may give hackers access to your computer. Secunia also reported the problem, giving it a rating of Highly critical.
Another “Extremely Critical” vulnerability has been found in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x and 6.0.
Secunia, et al detail how a malicious webmaster could easily break the current version of IE, even with all current patches, using an extremely simple script in a page. Microsoft says it’s “investigating” the issue, which it admits has been on its books since May!
The Opera browser has been fairly quietly gaining its own small slice of the web browser market over the years. It is only now, though, that the browser is being offered free of charge.
