Yet Another Serious Microsoft ActiveScript Flaw

George Ou at ZDNet.com has a new entry about the latest Internet Explorer flaw.

As usual for recent problems, it”s a problem with Microsoft”s interpreter for JavaScript. This interpreter is called “ActiveScript” — and again we see the recommendation “Disable ActiveScript” in Internet Explorer. How to Disable ActiveScript in Internet Explorer.

In his initial paragraph, he says:

Ok it”s late Friday night but it”s been a rough day for us security folks especially Microsoft. As I warned in my last blog “zero-day exploit for IE6 flaw released”, this is VERY serious and it has all the markings of another WMF nightmare for Internet Explorer 6. There are probably more than 100 sites using the latest IE6 flaw on the loose and it”s growing!

He goes further with recommendations. One of his other recommendations is to use an alternate browser like Firefox or Opera. I”m a big fan of Firefox and I also occasionally use Opera.
