It is cited in the article. MS acknowledges it and is working on a third

No it isn't. Not one case of this happening to anyone, anywhere at
anytime has been documented.
It is all theoretical.

Good for them.

No, it's been tested and proved.

Maybe the third time they'll get lucky. In the meantime, friends don't
let friends use IE.

You don't have any "friends" so don't worry!
Oops!...LOL!

And? Flaws are always being found in browsers and OSes no matter what
you use.

I'm not prejudiced. I hate everybody equally.

Don't answer to Alias,
or he will never stop to bombard this group
with worthless information that nobody here
wants to hear or see.
Besides, we are all happy with IE8
so nobody needs to tell us that we are
supposed to be unhappy.

In that case, you should stay away from Microsoft products as they are way
over your head. You would get confused and of course, your system would
become infected because you have no clue how to prevent infections.

Warnings about vulnerabilities in s/w you may be using is worthless
information ?

And this particular vulnerability has been around a long time and MS
already attempted to fix it twice, but didn't.

It is plain theory - there is NOT ONE SINGLE documented case
where this has actually happened.
So i do regard it as worthless information, panic-making
and utterly useless because to 99,9999999999% of people using ie8,
this exploit will never apply and why should other browsers not also be
exploitable?

So what do you recommend doing with or about the info dan-o?

And this particular vulnerability has been around a long time and MS
already attempted to fix it twice, but didn't.

So did you get hacked thru this vulnerability?

It's not theory. There were two links that documented in excruciating
detail both of the previous fix attempts including what's required,
exactly, to do this exploit, and how all this applies to the browser
security model.....

Uh....Because it a different browser ? Let's see Adobe Acrobat Reader and
Foxit PDF Reader both read PDF files, but I've never seen a security
update for Foxit. Read the article linked above explaining exactly how
and why IE would be affected.

...."5. Non-vulnerable packages
Internet Explorer 8 under Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista".
Now what?
Oops!

6. Vendor Information, Solutions and Workarounds
...."Only run IE in Protected Mode if it is available on the operating
system".
That is the default setting for IE8 in Windows 7.
So now what?
Big oops!

So now you're infected, part of a net bot, and don't even know it,
that's what.
