Trovati due nuove falle in IE su sistemi WIN XP SP2. Qui di seguito il dettaglio:

Details

* Microsoft Windows XP SP2 has a security feature which warns users when opening downloaded files of certain types. The problem is that if the downloaded file was sent with a specially crafted "Content-Location" HTTP header in some situations, then no security warning will be given to the user when the file is opened.

* An error when saving some documents using the Javascript function "execCommand()", can be exploited to spoof the file extension in the "Save HTML Document" dialog.

Solution:

* Disable Active Scripting support and the "Hide extension for known file types" option.
