Security Flaw Doesn’t Discriminate

October 18th, 2007 by Baldy

 

Linux and Apple OS X users are usually insulated from the security woes of their Microsoft Windows counterparts, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with a recent vulnerability involving the handling of Uniform Resource Identifier protocols. Those protocols instruct a browser to perform certain tasks. The most common task would be “http” to retrieve a Web page. Another task would be to run an application within a browser, applications like Adobe Acrobat Reader or the Apple QuickTime media player.

I hate to say it but I told you so a while back folks, Baldy
