DESCRIPTION:
cyber flash has discovered a weakness in Microsoft Internet Explorer,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing
attacks.

The weakness is caused due to an error when updating the address bar
field of a pop-up window. This can be exploited to load a malicious
web page and cause the address bar to display only a certain part of
the address in a manner that may trick users into believing that the
web page is served by a trusted site.

The weakness is confirmed in Internet Explorer 7 and 8 on a fully
patched Windows XP SP3.

SOLUTION:
Do not browse untrusted websites.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
cyber flash
