I tested IE 6.0 and Firefox 1.0 - both failed.

The "test" link is in the last sentence of the article, and also posted here - http://secunia.com/multiple_browsers_window_injection_vulnerability_test/

I use FireFox, and the popup was blocked. I still had the option to view it if I chose to though.

I have IE6 with XP-Pro with ALL updates and I PASSED! but the noise (ie sound fx) from the huge barrage of attempted pop-ups was irritating.

On all Internet browsers, the Pop-up windows should be disabled, and third party cookies disabled, and even JavaScript disabled, except for a particular website at which you are certain of its security.

The Mozilla browsers and Internet Explorer, provide a settings window where you can list such websites, that will permit Pop-up windows.

In other words, you fly an Internet browser, adjusting the trim and fuel settings as you go, if you mean to get there and back.

Firefox 1.0 failed on my machine.

Solution: Do not browse untrusted sites while browsing trusted sites.

Passed on both IE 6.0 and Firefox 1.0. Whatever the bug is, certain configurations are protected against it.

scary post lulling people into false sense of security, the "test" proves nothing... this is a 4 month old exploit that can be changed by typing "about:config" and changing
various settings...(just one). Would like to recommend cert.org to any who cares. Bugs are usually meant to take over your operating system anyway, you can always reinstall your browser...

Your browser can tell a lot about you to any (every) site you visit...

It is NOT VULNERABLE if you do not accept pop-ups.

If you want to be added or deleted from the Mac Ping List, please Freepmail me.
